According to data by IRCC, 572,000 international students have come to Canada from around the world and contributed $21.6 billion to the country’s economy so far this year. During the past 5 years, enrolment in Ontario colleges has increased up to 155%. During Stephen Harper’s government, the colleges lobbied the Conservative government to increase the number of international students. Many immigration experts consider international education in Canada as not an education program anymore, rather an immigration program. Most students are studying for permanent residence. It has nothing to do with learning. The average international student pays $14,466 annually as tuition fees, while a Canadian pay $3,742.
