Facing financial ruin due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada's language schools have proposed an ambitious plan to bring 40,000 foreign students to Canada over the next few months to learn English and French. International students study English at Mentora Language Academy in Toronto. Oyman and his colleagues are confident that the safety measures of the Study Safe Corridor will minimize health risks. Gonzalo Peralta of Languages Canada said many foreign students opt to stay in Canada and pursue higher education. It's another economic benefit of language schools, he said, but added that there's more than money at stake.
