Absolutely. We can't say that international students are our best immigrants because they have studied in Canada and gained Canadian work experience, and then deny them a study permit on the grounds that they may not return to their country after they finish their studies because they aren't married. That simply makes no sense.
As Ms. Nord pointed out, we know that Canada is dealing with a significant labour shortage right now in all sectors and across all regions of the country. International students are part of the solution. So it's urgent that we rectify this issue.
