We were certainly having discussions with government broadly in terms of student flows and the overall direction of the program, and broadly in terms of the policy pieces. We were starting to see pressures build in some communities. We saw that there needed to be further conversation on these issues.
However, we warned very explicitly in our submissions to IRCC, in their consultations on the future direction of immigration, that caps were not the best way to approach this. We needed to engage with provinces, the federal government and our institutions to look at a much more tailored and measured way to address some of the pressures we were starting to see build.
