There are over 800,000 foreign students in Canada. How many are filling spots that should be taken by Canadian students?

And by all means, Chinese students should not be on that list.

Added. These 800,000+ also need places to live.
exactly
Last I checked with StatsCan, enrollment is decreasing among Canadians. International student enrolment is therefore needed if you want successful post-secondary schools.

Excellent, now let's start with reducing any students from coming here for education.

Most of those are from India and they are here for IT cources. Nothing that actually helps Canadians.

Why can't secondary institutions be "successful" without foreign students out-bidding Canadian students for seats?

^^^^. Precisely

The more competition for education seats drives up the cost of obtaining a seat. This higher cost favours overseas students from wealthy families in the sweet spot and our students from average income families left out.

Yes, I understand that all that foreign money slipped into the universities’ pockets often goes towards new buildings, more of highly paid profs, and more overseas advertisements extolling the virtues of the campus, but does that increase the likelihood of Cdn students being accepted into these institutions?

When we are so incredibly short of doctors for one example, why are we training foreigns rather than our own?

Foreign student should only be allowed a spot if it's not filled by a Canadian first.

End of story!

Canadian government needs to tell Chinese nationals students pack your bags and go home, btw tell your CCP government to go :cuss: themselves.

The money paid by international students helps to subsidize and create seats for Canadian students.

Chances are not 1 of these Canadian universities would be willing to have a transparent audit to see where international students money is actually going towards.

By subsidizing and paying for more seats.

Chinese youth must be wondering what to do with education considering the extremely high unemployment rate in their age category. It is estimated to be as high as 46%. It is the end of China's economic model and hopefully the CCP.
