Something similar happened in Quebec. I don’t know if you saw it in the media. Foreign students had paid their tuition fees in advance. When they arrived here, the college had closed and didn’t reimburse the students because it placed itself under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. When that happened, the Quebec government alerted the federal government.
What jurisdiction does this case this fall under?
First, the federal government obviously has a role to play in this, since it ultimately grants or denies the student a study permit.
Secondly, I quite agree with you that the provincial and federal governments should discuss this problem.
That said, other questions also come to mind. For example, are there enough bilateral discussions between countries? We can see that there’s a particular problem in India. I have no idea why. Given its enormous population, perhaps it’s easier to open agencies there, then close them and open others under new names.
In your opinion, does improving the situation necessarily involve bilateral discussions between the Canadian and Indian governments?
