Surge in U.S. Student Applications to Canadian Universities Amid Political Uncertainty
Canadian universities are experiencing a significant increase in applications from U.S. students, driven by political and educational uncertainties under the Trump administration. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has reopened application windows for over 70 graduate programs specifically for U.S. citizens. Simon Fraser University (SFU) and UBC have extended their fall semester application window to accommodate this rising interest. Parents and students from the Toronto area are actively seeking opportunities in the U.S. education system, looking for alternatives in light of funding cuts and concerns over the focus on foreign scholars by the U.S. government.
