It's a great question.
In the report I'm sharing with the committee, I make some specific recommendations that could be considered by the committee. One is to potentially limit international student enrolment primarily to accredited public institutions and rigorously regulate recruitment practices.
In the short term, we have to think about the fact that there are a substantial number of international students and post-graduation work permit holders who came to Canada and were told that permanent residency was a reasonable expectation, and the policies have changed.
One suggestion I have to reduce the potential precarity and challenges for that population is to prioritize temporary residents already in Canada for permanent residence over the next few years, which would increase the proportion of the overall permanent resident admissions. I know it was originally approximately 40% in the levels plan, and I think it's been about 50% so far. It could be higher, and that would also contribute to the goal of reducing the overall proportion of temporary residents in Canada's population to 5%.
Yes, in general, having more public-facing reporting done with metrics that are agreed upon in consultation would be good, because the institutions know the kinds of challenges that other institutions have had. There's a lot of information that the post-secondary sector can contribute to work with the government, at both federal and provincial levels, to try to improve the situation and move forward in a positive way.
