More students living in the United States are applying to Canadian universities or expressing interest in studying north of the border as President Donald Trump cuts federal funding to universities and revokes foreign student visas.
Canadian universities are smart to seize the moment. They offer quality education, often at a more affordable price, and with a generally more welcoming attitude toward international students. It’s no wonder application numbers are spiking.
I also found it interesting that it’s not just students looking for a “cheaper” education, but those who are also drawn to what they perceive as a more stable, inclusive environment. That says a lot about how deeply politics are shaping academic decisions right now.
Would love to see a follow-up on how Canadian institutions are planning to handle the surge—and whether they’re actually expanding spots or support systems for these incoming U.S. students.
How is this a surprise
