It’s no secret that universities in Canada are highly favoured among international students, but just how much are these institutions reliant on them? In April last year, Laurentian filed for creditor protection after declaring bankruptcy, which rocked many higher education experts and stakeholders across universities in Canada. It was worsened further by its inability to recruit more international students during the pandemic to compensate for the revenue loss, The PIE News reports. Currently, overseas Laurentian students pay around 26,000 Canadian dollars annually at the undergraduate level, while postgraduate students are charged CA$24,000 per year. It’s almost as if for university or post-secondary institutions, international students are a cash cow before human beings.”
