“The American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers surveyed over 250 American colleges and universities and found that 39 percent of Americans schools witnessed a decline in international applications in the last year.”

“The average cost for an international student to attend a public university in Canada is approximately $17,264.”
Maybe 10 years ago. Now the international tuition At UBC and UToronto and many programs at McGill are in the C$40,000 range for tuition alone. Canadian universities, along with American public universities see international students as a source of revenue.
