Online education does not affect the recruitment of international students
Despite the worst forecasts, the Ontario universities and colleges report that admission offers to new students remain at the same rate as before the COVID-19 crisis. This also means that the shift to online education did not reduce the number of students. In total, 103,426 offers of admission have been confirmed, both for domestic and international students. Last year, this number was 102,289. Many of Ontario education institutions focused on domestic high school graduates. Nevertheless, travel restriction did not affect the level of international students’ interest to study in Canada. For instance, at the University of Toronto, confirmations from Ontario high-school students are down about 9%, but its international student numbers increased by nearly 20%.
