e-572 (Foreign students)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
- The Government of Canada previously had an immigration selection system for international PhD students; and
- The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has stated that taking away the 50 percent credit for international students was inadvisable “because if there is any group in this country who would be good Canadians — they’re educated, they know about this country, they speak English or French — it’s them.”
