As I understand it, what the federal government did last year was create 40,000 spots for international students who were here on a temporary basis to become permanent. Those spots filled up in 24 hours, which meant that there was a huge motivation for these students to stay. After the 40,000 spots were filled, students couldn't apply anymore. That's what I'm aware of in terms of what the federal government is doing.
Again, the question—and one of the recommendations that World Education Services has put on the table—is to make sure that international students know the steps that it takes to become a permanent resident and have the processes in place so they're able to apply and quickly get a response.
There is a program in Nova Scotia called Study and Stay. As I understand from the province, it was a highly successful program. The program included policy coherence around coming here as a student and then staying, and they support you with services so that you can become a contributing member of the province.
