Varsity Sports Teams: International Students

international students: But, as Demetrius Ferguson discovered when he left the Bahamas to study marketing at Holland College in P.E.I. , international students are not as welcome when it comes to playing on varsity sports teams, according to The Star. I can see that they want more Canadian students on the team. But I pay double the fees, I should be able to step on the court and play beside the Canadians, said Ferguson. It makes me feel I m not equal to the other students and Colleges across Canada recruit international students to fill classroom seats, add diversity to campuses and, helpfully, pay a lot more tuition. The One-in-Six rule means that, no matter how good they are, only two international students can play on a college varsity basketball or volleyball team and three on a soccer team. The rest of the spots are guaranteed to Canadian athletes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
