The provincial government is pushing for exemptions on the future cap of international students permitted to study in B.C. while toughening up rules around post-secondary institutions.
Premier David Eby and Post-Secondary Education Minister Selina Robinson delivered this double-barreled message Monday from both Ottawa and Surrey.
The federal government announced Jan. 22 that it would cap the number of new international students for 2024 at about 360,000 — a cut of 35 per cent compared to current numbers.
