March 2018
The Wall Street Journal reports (March 11) that the number of visa to foreign students fell markedly with 17% in 2017, with a major decline from India. The stricter immigration policies of the US government may be seen as the prime cause for this decline. Any and all universities in the US complain about the “shrinking of the pool” of applicants and the general feeling is expressed by the recurrent saying that “Trump is doing a great job in recruiting for Canadian universities”, which was allegedly uttered informally by a senior Canadian official.
