Schools such as the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the University of Victoria state that British Columbia’s latest cap on international student intake will not affect their operations. The province has introduced new guidelines for public post-secondary institutions, limiting the number of international students to 30 percent of their total enrolment.
According to the ministry, these guidelines require public universities and colleges to submit international education strategic plans to the government. The province will monitor these plans to ensure compliance with the cap. The guidelines are effective this month, and schools are expected to align with them over the coming year.
