I’m curious how much of a logistical/administrative burden it would be to track exits from Canada generally. I’m not against it in general terms. It would provide a ton of data to help drive policy and program administration.Meanwhile, not shocked....
Criminologist says Canada should better track foreign student departures
A Canadian criminologist who once worked on inland immigration enforcement for the Canada Border Services Agency said Canada needs to better track foreign nationals who arrive in the country on student visas.
Kelly Sundberg, a professor at Mount Royal University, said he was not shocked to hear that Indian law enforcement agencies are investigating links between Canadian colleges and a scheme to ferry international students across the Canada-U. S. border.
"I'm not surprised that our ridiculous honour-based immigration program is being gamed by transnational criminals. That doesn't surprise me at all," Sundberg said.
India's Enforcement Directorate said on Tuesday it had uncovered evidence of human trafficking after launching an investigation on the Indian connections the deaths of Jagdish and Vaishali Patel and their two children in January 2022.
The Indian family was found dead from the cold near the Manitoba-Minnesota border and last month an American and an Indian man were convicted of bringing unauthorized people into the U.S. and profiting from it.
The Indian agency says it has evidence that an Indian national allegedly arranged for people to get admissions to Canadian colleges in order to get a student visa for Canada, intending to then cross into the U.S. with no plan to actually study in Canada.

It could be pretty simple for air departures- scan your passport outbound.
Land border to US…not sure. Unless US Border Patrol was willing to share their entry data with us?

Clearly, India has it's own agenda against Canada hence the appearance of this item in the news at a time when alot of Canadians are off work and likely reading it...
Yes. But that doesn’t mean there’s not truth to it.
I bet a lot. That would be a really interesting compliance assessment project shared between the feds and provinces.
The foreign students issue is kicking the shit out of real, reputable school too. They’re seeing the number of permitted foreign students plummet, and that’s causing slashing of budgets. I still pay attention to my school’s course offerings each semester, and a lot of contract instructors aren’t being renewed, with consequent impacts on course availability. This the foreign students issue income stream is having a real
detrimental impact on domestic students.

Systemic underfunding of post secondary education in Canada has driven the chase for foreign tuition; the GoC crackdown is merely forcing that issue into the open.
I remember running the numbers and found that about half of my tuition was covered by the government. I don’t see me footing half my own tuition bill as unreasonable.

Canada's post-secondary industry predicts a storm ahead, as budget cuts shrink courses, staff
Institutions, students, faculty call for sustained boost to provincial funding
Amid cuts to staff, programs and student services, Canada's post-secondary system is moving into a stormy period. Students, faculty, post-secondary institutions and experts predict challenging times ahead as colleges and universities report budget shortfalls, exacerbated by federal restrictions on new international students, ongoing domestic tuition caps or freezes, and stagnant provincial funding.

Increasingly redundant over valued and under preforming institutions are seeking more and more income to make up for their lack of quality content.
There has been a significant drop in the quality of education in this country. And instead of addressing it and reforming they have just demanded that they receive funds to keep going.
We do not need as many universities and colleges as we have. We need to start pushing back against these institutions and actually putting the education back to where it belongs in many cases, such as apprenticeships.
No point in wasting 2 years doing a college program to get into a apprenticeship just to do the exact same content again as a apprentice. The only winners there is the college who gets to basically double charge you for the same education.
Society pays the price, as the worker loses two years of productive years generally at the most energetic points of the workers life.
They have simply turned education into a greedy money grab. Our institutions need to do some reflection and that reflection may require some redundant schools and programs to close, which is ok. We view it as a sacred cow, but it isn’t providing anywhere near the quality and value it once did.
I have had the pleasure of attending college right before the international students started, and watching the decline as it went on. I have family members who worked at those institutions during that time. It was a money grab and we allowed ourselves to sacrifice our quality and ethics to take it.
Blatant plagiarism. Clearly incapable students who didn’t even understand the language of instruction. Clear cheating and tolerance of said acts. Immediate dismissal of any concerns against them, accusing the complainant of racism. Silencing/forcing out professors who stood up for their ethics and challenged the status quo. It is a national embarrassment and all involved ought to be ashamed.

Having both a college and a university where I live, I've heard exactly the same thing here.
