The federal government is considering a cap on the number of international students in the country, to ease the pressure on the housing market.
“I think that’s one of the options that we ought to consider,” federal Housing, Infrastructure and Communities MinisterIt’s a decision some students at the University of Regina are frustrated with, as a large percentage of the student population at the school is international.
“I think it would be a shame,” said Carmen Encinas who is from Mexico, studying science at the University of Regina. “It is a huge opportunity to meet new people and we are bringing with us the best out countries have.” Barbara Salazar, a student from Chile, said if she had been rejected due to a cap on students, it would have changed her life.“It would be such a disappointment,” she said. “It stops you from dreaming and achieving your goals.”“We value our international students and recognize we are strengthened by diverse world views and experiences when international students choose to learn, study and grow at the University of Regina,” the statement read.
“With so few details available around this proposed consideration, the University of Regina is not in a position to respond or do an interview at this time, other than to say that we still have plenty of space available in our on-campus housing for both international and domestic students.”
