In a bid to attract more foreign students Canada announced new rules that make it easier for them to work while studying in the country and also relaxed the entry for parents and grandparents of immigrants.
Announcing the new measures here Monday, Joe Volpe, minister of citizenship and immigration, said: “International students who choose to stay in Canada after they graduate greatly contribute to our labour market.
“It is important that they be exposed to the Canadian work force at an early stage to increase their chances of success following graduation.”
The announcement of relaxed immigration rules to Canada comes at a time when several European countries are trying to corner foreign students even as the US is concerned it is losing some bright incoming researchers.
