He said that the international students program has been exploited by institutions offering “sham” degrees, putting pressure on housing and health care.
The total number of foreign students is more than three times what it was a decade ago.
The immigration minister said that there are unscrupulous schools that accept high tuition fees from foreign students without offering a solid education in return.
In some cases, the schools are a way into Canada for students who can parlay their visas into permanent residencies.
Admitting fewer foreign students during the next two years can’t solve the crisis on its own,” said Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal.
