The international student program is a great driver of our economy. As I have indicated to the committee before, in a typical year we see over $21 billion contributed to our economy.
It's not just about the economy. Each and every one of the international students who come to Canada to take up an education also adds to our social fabric. The innovations in that program that we've introduced have allowed international students to start their classes online abroad without any penalty to taking up work after they graduate. By introducing those twin innovations, we've kept the corridor open. We are seeing international students come, but they're coming in a manner that is safe and orderly.
That will be good for them. It will good for our economy. It will be good for Canada.
