The cap on international student visas in Canada will have a significant impact on Ontario colleges, writes Alex Usher. "By 2025-26 the expected recruitment losses will mean an average drop of about 35-40% in total income." There will be similar, but smaller, impacts on higher education systems across the country. The losers will be, first, the international students expecting to study in Canada, and second, Canadian students, who will lose access or face higher fees, as international student revenue offset declining public support. "With, in total, probably something like 20,000 job losses. It's not going to be pretty. And it's deeply unnecessary: true, something had to be done about Southern Ontario's housing market. It's just not clear this was that something."
