Immigration: Aging Population

Domestic Students Dept: With an aging population, Canada faces significant demographic challenges in sustaining its work force. International students are exactly the kind of people this country needs – young, well-educated, ambitious and eager to contribute to the high quality of life afforded our citizens, according to Globe And Mail. International students do pay higher fees, but that’s not what drives universities to compete for the best and the brightest young minds from around the world. We recognize that international students enrich the learning experience for all our students. We are also working hard to create additional opportunities for domestic students to study abroad, so they can expand their global awareness and experience, make international connections, and promote Ontario and Canada to the world and these numbers are something for Canadians to celebrate. Not only does it enhance the education experience for all our students, but it also provides long-term economic benefits for our country. The Ontario government recently committed to an aggressive plan to increase the number of international students coming to the province by 50 per cent, while still guaranteeing spaces for qualified domestic students. As reported in the news.
