Canada: Private Donors

Foreign Students Dept: One way to attract the best foreign students to Canada is for Ottawa to provide co-funding -- to be matched by institutions, provinces or private donors -- for 8,000 new scholarships for top international undergraduates to study in Canada, a report recommended, according to CTV. Canada's education systems have the capacity to absorb new international students without displacing domestic students, the panel wrote in the report and canada should double the number of international students in the next 10 years in order to stave off a looming labour shortage, a government advisory panel suggested Tuesday. The government-commissioned report on Canada's international education strategy, released Tuesday in Halifax, called boosting the number of full-time international students from about 239,000 last year to more than 450,000 by 2022 a realistic goal.
