According to Institute of International Education, Canada, with 435,000 international students, is ranked #4 in the International Education Industry. Canada has experienced the highest growth in the 2018-2019 school year with a 17% increase in absorbing international students. Well, it’s looks like COVID-19 is also hitting this sector and according to an Globe and Mail Report: it’s estimated to drop in revenue by $6-billion!

In summary: Even Canada with the highest growth in absorbing international students, is not immune to COVID-19. What does this mean for our accredited academic institutions? Will they sustain to remain open for the long run, considering the dramatic downfall in international student enrollment… food for thought.
