For us, meeting labour shortage needs is important. A lot of the issues we've been seeing with our students regarding having access to jobs are mostly through work-integrated learning and being able to get Canadians experience while they're studying.
One of our recommendations, done through consultations with provinces, institutions, businesses and chambers of commerce, is for the government to identify province-specific labour market needs and adjust the field of study requirements province by province accordingly. That way, institutions in different provinces would be meeting needs with the kinds of students they accept and attract. We would also be able to continue promoting innovation and productivity in Canada with the current international student program.
