The Senate of Canada issued a new report on international student program

The Canadian Senate issued a report on improving the international student program in Canada. The report highlights integrity challenges within the program. It suggests various recommendations, including a national review of financial sustainability, increased oversight of educational institutions, raising awareness among international students, improving housing supply, enhancing legal rights understanding, implementing a national policy approach, establishing a nationwide linguistic standard, improving the LOA verification process, amending regulations, and imposing restrictions and sanctions on education agents. The report also raises concerns about the vulnerability of the Canadian post-secondary education sector and the need for greater oversight to ensure a positive experience for international students.
