On February 1, the Peterborough Examiner and Canadian Press released an article assessing the impact of the student visa cap at Niagara College.
NC’s Vice President, International, Sean Coote is quoted in the article highlighting that NC needs more details before it knows how a cap on permits being offered to international students will affect its operations: “There’s not a lot of detailed information out yet about what this cap actually means and how it can be applied.”
Coote also mentions that NC’s programs are designed to help the region’s employers – in construction, health care, tourism sectors, etc., by providing them with the necessary number of employees to support the growth of those sectors. He emphasizes, “It will mean more challenges for employers to be able to find that skilled labour.”
