How to Fix Canada’s Broken Foreign Study Visa System

背景
加拿大的外國學生簽證制度存在多層次問題，因此最近引起很多關注，主要與房價有關。 去年有超過 80 萬名持簽證學生在加拿大，而 15 年前這一數字還不到 20 萬，專家認爲這是導致住房供需之間日益不匹配的眾多因素之一。
加拿大國際學生招生系統，“非常有利可圖”，但也帶來了“一些不良影響：系統中存在一些欺詐行為，一些人利用被視為進入加拿大的後門”，新任移民部長說道。
移民制度令大量臨時外國工人通過學簽流入加拿大 - 來自私營企業利用最低工資聘請國外員工；來自眼裡只有利潤的教育機構；省政府看到了依靠外國學生學費資助國內教育的機會。
典型的例子是安大略省。 2000年至2022年間，外國學生人數從46,000人增加到412,000人。去年，這一數字超過143,000。
在許多情況下，出售的不是世界一流的教育，而是來加拿大的權利 - 在校期間工作、畢業後繼續工作以及提升公民身份。
每年獲得安大略省大學證書的費用約為 15,000 加幣，這相當於以低價出售加拿大公民身份。
我們的學生簽證制度應該是比普通加拿大人受教育程度更高、技能更高的人才的管道，使他們可能比普通加拿大人更具經濟生產力。
加拿大應該最大限度地增加高技能、高工資移民的數量，並最大限度地減少低技能、低工資移民的數量。合理運行的學生簽證制度完全是針對前者。相反，現在很大一部分是關於後者。
解決方案
渥太華應該做的第一件事就是限制學生簽證的數量。
接下來，創建一個系統來優先考慮誰獲得有限的簽證供應。
在校期間在加拿大工作的權利應僅限於高薪工作，以便加拿大教育成為外國學生來加拿大的原因，而不是藉口。
Canada’s foreign student visa system is broken. Its defects and side effects have been getting a lot of attention, mostly in relation to housing prices. The fact that more than 800,000 visa students were in Canada last year, compared to fewer than 200,000 a decade and a half ago, is one of many contributors to a growing mismatch between housing demand and supply.
The international student recruitment system as an “ecosystem” that is “very lucrative” but has brought “some perverse effects: some fraud in the system, some people taking advantage of what is seen as a backdoor entry into Canada.” said the newly appointed Minister of Immigration.
The immigration system is enabling a massive shadow immigration stream of temporary foreign workers, through student visas - from private industry lobbying for an all-you-can-eat buffet of minimum-wage labour; from educational institutions with dollar signs in their eyes; and from provincial governments that saw an opportunity to rely on foreign student tuition fund domestic education.
The leading example is the Province of Ontario. Between 2000 and 2022, its number of foreign students rose from 46,000 to 412,000. Last year, the number was more than 143,000.
What is being sold in many cases is not world-class education, but the right to come to Canada, to work while enrolled, to continue working after graduation and to move up the line for citizenship.
And at around $15,000 a year for an Ontario college credential, that’s selling Canadian citizenship at fire sale prices.
Our student visa system is supposed to be a pipeline of people who are more educated and skilled than the average Canadian, making them likely to be more economically productive than the average Canadian.
Canada should be maximizing the number of high-skill, high-wage immigrants, and minimizing the number of low-skill, low-wage immigrants. A sensibly run student visa system would be entirely about the former. Instead, a big chunk of it is now about the latter.
How to fix that?
The first thing Ottawa should do is cap the number of student visas. Mr. Miller said this year’s tally will be around 900,000. He should cap future intake well below that.
Next, create a system to prioritize who gets the limited supply of visas.
The right to work in Canada while in school should be restricted to high-wage work so that a Canadian education is the reason a foreign student is coming to Canada, not the pretext.
