This organization has stated that foreign students of this country provide important economic assistance to this country with an annual income of more than 21 billion dollars. Also, these active students have increased the vitality of the society and increased investment attraction in Canada.

This action on the part of this class will be an effective step to solve Canada’s population challenges.

Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced that the new policy adopted will ensure students that they can find work and stay in Canada after their studies. They will also be assured that this country is obliged to meet their economic needs in the future. He also stated: “We don’t just want you to study here, we want you to stay here.”
