On Friday the Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney got the international education community interested when he announced that Canada will substantially increase the number of international students that it allows into the country each year.
It seems that Canada has been eyeing off the Australian model and is looking to copy it. Australia admits large numbers of international students who then earn points which assist them to obtain permanent residence when they complete their studies. Minister Kenney noted that the new Canadian approach will involve a much larger number of international students who will have the option to put themselves on a "much faster pathway" to immigration.
