Feds’ international student cap could see P.E.I. numbers climb — if enough students enrol

The province has released how many new international students P.E.I. can enrol in the Island’s post-secondary schools next year.

On Thursday, the government revealed the maximum number of international students allotted under new federal restrictions.

If P.E.I.’s higher education institutions actually enrol that number, however, it would still be an increase from the current year’s numbers.

Citing efforts to slow a national housing crisis, the federal government announced its enrolment restrictions Jan. 22, capping by 35 per cent how many student permits may be issued for the next two years across Canada.
