British Columbia, a Canadian province, has implemented a temporary prohibition on the admission of Nigerian and international students to tertiary institutions for the next two years. This decision aligns with the Canadian government’s broader strategy to enforce a national cap aimed at controlling the influx of international students.
Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller recently announced the measure, citing a goal to reduce the issuance of new student visas by 35 percent for the current year. The move aims to combat “exploitative practices” within the education system.
Premier David Eby of British Columbia underscored the significance of addressing issues within the international education sector, acknowledging its crucial role in the province’s social and economic fabric. He emphasized the need for consistent quality standards across all institutions, regardless of size, citing concerns about certain institutions failing to meet expectations.
