Province orders review as International Student cap worsens finances of post-secondary institutes

B.C. has launched an independent review of 25 post-secondary institutions—including universities, colleges, and institutes—in response to growing financial pressures driven by reduced international study permits, inflation, and declining domestic enrolment. Post Secondary Minister Jessie Sunner tells RED FM News Director Harjinder Thind that the province is frustrated with the federal government for cutting international student visas without consultation, emphasizing the need for B.C. to be included in future federal decision-making.
