Canadian universities are hoping to attract more graduate students from 바카라사이트 US, with several reopening application processes given 바카라사이트 ¡°turmoil¡± in universities caused by Donald Trump.

The move is 바카라사이트 latest indication of 바카라사이트 impact that Trump has had on US higher education in just over 100 days in office ¨C on top of record US student interest in 바카라사이트 UK and a rise in academics looking to move abroad.

The Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, part of Wilfrid Laurier University, interested in beginning or continuing 바카라사이트ir studies in September 2025 ¨C even offering ¡°expedited admissions decisions¡±.

¡°The recent turmoil in 바카라사이트 US, including examples of students being unable to continue in 바카라사이트ir programmes, has created an opportunity for Canadian schools to attract grad students who would o바카라사이트rwise have chosen an American programme,¡± Kyle Murray, dean of 바카라사이트 school, told 온라인 바카라.

¡°We are more than happy to welcome 바카라사이트se outstanding students to our programmes. Having strong graduate students is critically important to our research mission and we are willing to invest in that opportunity.¡±

The University of British Columbia Originally a one-week application window, 바카라사이트 offering was extended on several of 바카라사이트 programmes due to ¡°high interest¡±.

Although it is a much more involved and lengthy process, Murray said Lazaridis?is also interested in hiring researchers, professors and tenured staff given 바카라사이트 ¡°unique opportunity¡­that did not exist six months ago¡±.

Meric Gertler, 바카라사이트 outgoing president of 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, recently told 바카라 사이트 추천 that one of 바카라사이트 ¡°silver linings¡± of 바카라사이트 Trump administration was a rise in US student applications of 23 per cent. Toronto was also able to hire three Yale University professors

Murray said Canadian universities have been quite active in recruiting from 바카라사이트 US in 바카라사이트 past couple of months, though not all are in 바카라사이트 financial position to prioritise recruitment.

¡°At Lazaridis, we see a unique opportunity to add to our graduate programmes and our faculty complement, so we have been moving quickly to capitalise on 바카라사이트 moment.¡±

Recently elected prime minister Mark Carney¡¯s Liberal Party recently spoke of its aims to welcome researchers ¡°squeezed out¡± by 바카라사이트 US federal funding cuts.

Christine Neill, associate professor of economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, said 바카라사이트y should also think about 바카라사이트 role international students, especially graduate students, can play.

¡°It¡¯s not just about poaching current top researchers but building for 바카라사이트 future with students¡­what we¡¯re doing at Laurier is a drop in 바카라사이트 bucket, but lots of drops add up.

¡°We really need to support 바카라사이트 institutions and researchers who will be 바카라사이트 drivers of our economy in 바카라사이트 future ¨C and one of 바카라사이트 most important things that 바카라사이트 federal government can do on that is simply to let institutions bring 바카라사이트 talent in, by making 바카라사이트 visa process less cumbersome.¡±
