Falling International Student Numbers Hit Canadian Universities.
Mar 05, 2026 | English
ਇੰਟਰਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਸਟੂਡੈਂਟਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਯੁਨਿਵਰਸਟੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਬੁਰੇ ਹਾਲ !
In today’s Connect FM episode, hosts Vijay Saini and Vasu Kumar discuss the growing crisis at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), where more layoffs are being announced as student enrolment continues to decline. The drop in international students, following federal immigration policy changes and study permit caps has created a major financial gap for B.C. post-secondary institutions that rely heavily on international tuition revenue. Reports say KPU has already issued layoff notices to around 70 faculty members, as international enrolment fell by about 2,000 students and could drop further in 2026, significantly reducing university revenue.
What does this mean for students, staff, and the future of higher education in British Columbia? We analyze the economic impact of international student policies, funding challenges for universities, and the broader debate about Canada’s post-secondary system.
