IRCC is committed to attracting and retaining international students
Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently released their official response to the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration’s (CIMM) report that outlines measures for the attraction, recruitment, and retention of international students in Canada.
