Summary Translation: No byline - In the recently published International Education Strategic Plan, the federal government stated that international students contributed approximately $21.6 billion to Canada's GDP in 2018 and from 2014 to 2018, the number of international students studying in Canada increased by 68%. The COVID-19 pandemic in Canada has posed a threat to the number of international students to be enrolled at post-secondary colleges and universities across the country this fall, and therefore many colleges and universities in Canada are expected to cut their budgetary spending substantially this fall to cope with the decline in revenues contributed by the international students.
