Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Saskatchewan. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.
| The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to proclaim International Education Week from November 18 to 22, 2024. This week is recognized annually by governments, schools and organizations in over 100 countries around the world to raise awareness of the benefits of cultural and academic exchange programs.
"International students and researchers are important to Saskatchewan's economic growth, bring global knowledge and cultural diversity to our classrooms and communities, and play a key role in supporting the goals of Saskatchewan's Growth Plan and Labour Market Strategy," Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. "We warmly welcome international students and researchers to our province and will continue to prioritize recruitment efforts in collaboration with the sector to promote Saskatchewan as a destination of choice for international students to study, work and live."
International students benefit our post-secondary institutions by bringing global knowledge and cultural diversity to classrooms and filling seats in programs where there are not enough domestic students enrolled. Their tuition fees also help support programming and research in the province. In 2023-24, Saskatchewan welcomed over 14,400 international students from over 14 countries including India, Nigeria, China and the Philippines. In addition, nearly 470 Saskatchewan students studied abroad in 45 countries ranging from the United Kingdom to Japan.
"My student life here was extraordinary, filled with learning, networking, and participating in various events," University of Regina international student alumnus Edwin Ta said. "These experiences not only prepared me for the job market but also allowed me to engage deeply with the community and build essential skills."
Ta is featured in a new promotional video that demonstrates the advantages of studying in Saskatchewan while strengthening our international brand. The video will be used by post-secondary education institutions, international trade offices and government officials in fostering international partnerships, increasing global awareness and supporting student and researcher recruitment efforts.
