The paper discusses international students' importance to Canadian universities. The paper maintains that universities may be blinded by multicultural principles and fail to see the very real difficulties that international students face. The paper argues that universities should offer targeted services to meet the needs of international students.
From the Paper:
"The fact that international students are important to Canadian universities can be seen from the lengths that Canada has gone to in order to attract international students. Canada took note of the fact that after aggressive marketing of their tertiary educational facilities to Asian students, Australia estimates that by the year 2010, international students will be contributing $4.5 billion a year to Australia's economy. Accordingly, Canada has been opening up Canadian Education Centres in Asia - one was opened by Chretien himself, while in Jakarta. The objective of these centres is to tell prospective students that Canada offers the best possible education, in the friendliest environment, in an attempt to double the quantity of Asian international students in Canada. This is beneficial for the universities, as most of these students pay full fees."
