Study in Canada. No, really.
I don’t know how many RCMP officers Diane Finley had around her last week when she made it radically easier for international students to work in Canada after they complete their studies, but perhaps we could divert some of our attention from the police escort to the minister’s announcement itself. The Globe paid attention, as did the Windsor Star. Reactions in those articles were quite a bit more enthusiastic than most of the reviews we’ve read lately of the Harper government. “This will put Canada ahead every other country in the world,” said the woman who looks after international students at UBC, while her counterpart at the University of Windsor said: “It is one of the biggest steps forward in immigration regulations in the last 10 years. All my students were jumping for joy as soon as they got the news.”
