Prospective Students: International Students

international students: The extent to which international students, who require study permits to attend schools in this country, are having difficulties acquiring their documents is still unclear, said Norah Lynn Paddock of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, according to The Star. Our main concern is making sure we can be as flexible as possible, to ensure the international students who have chosen Canada still decide to study here, she said and Canadian universities are being proactive and offering support to international students caught in the visa backlog created by the labour dispute between federal government and foreign diplomats . But schools arent taking any chances and are informing prospective students of their options, which include putting off their start dates and starting later, in the hopes that overseas students wont choose to study in another country, she said.
