加拿大移民部长说,由于联邦政策改变,国际学生人数不断下降,迫使挣扎的大学寻求省级援助。 Canada’s immigration minister says falling international student numbers, due to federal policy changes, are forcing struggling universities to seek provincial aid.

加拿大移民部长Lena Diab说,挣扎中的大学必须寻求省政府的帮助,因为国际学生入学率从2024年初的100多万急剧下降至2025年11月的70万左右。 Canada’s Immigration Minister Lena Diab said struggling universities must seek help from provincial governments, citing a sharp drop in international student enrolment from over 1 million in early 2024 to about 700,000 by November 2025. 她将下降归因于旨在减轻住房和公共服务压力的联邦政策变化,这给大学收入造成了打击。 She attributed the decline to federal policy changes aimed at easing pressure on housing and public services, which has hit university revenues. 虽然联邦当局不是直接资助中学后机构,但Diab强调省一级有责任提供支助。 While federal authorities are not directly funding post-secondary institutions, Diab emphasized provincial responsibility for support. 一些学校,如纪念大学,正在采取诸如出售房地产等削减成本的措施。 Some schools, like Memorial University, are responding with cost-cutting measures such as selling properties.
