Modi-Trudeau tensions prompt Canadian colleges to reassure students

Canadian universities are working to reassure Indian students amidst the diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, as they seek to limit the potential impact on the booming business of international education. India is the largest source of global students in Canada, contributing over $14.6 billion to the Canadian economy each year. Universities are offering courses and colleges are providing short-term, cheaper options to connect with students and ensure that the diplomatic spat does not harm Canada's international education sector. However, some students are considering delaying their courses or opting for online classes due to concerns about safety. The uncertainty surrounding visas and potential government actions is causing anxiety among students and their families in India.
