Recommendations

Info

Three broad recommendations forCanada and other countries:1. National and sub-national governments must work more effectively togetherto develop not only strategies, but also mechanisms for monitoring success.The goal should be to provide a reliable basis for learning from internationalstudent experiences in order to better meet the aspirations of these studentsand to more firmly establish a meaningful service contract of value to allstakeholders (including the institution’s and the community's aspirations).2. There needs to be a broader discussion and recognition of the full costs ofrecruiting and retaining international students in Canada. It seems clear thatmany post-secondary institutions maintain an abiding focus on increasinginternational student enrolments in the absence of a concomitant plan toensure that funding is available to support international students properly andthus to ensure educational and career outcomes worthy of Canadianinstitutions.28
Three Recommendations continuedThree major recommendations for Canada and other countries, continued:3. Post-secondary institutions need to effectively shift their focus frominternational students as a “commodity” to a “values” perspective thatrecognizes their educational and career aspirations. This may involve areprioritization of services offered, to focus more on graduate programcounselling, professional development, and internship programs, or thedevelopment of whole new offerings that link international students directlyto their chosen career path—whether in Canada, or their own countries.29
