Quebec’s English-language universities send government counteroffer on tuition hikes

Quebec's English-language universities have sent a counteroffer to the government regarding the reduction of permanent residency for international students. The universities are asking for a partial exemption for master's and PhD students, arguing that the reduction would harm their competitiveness. This offer comes after the government announced its plan to cut the duration of the post-graduation work permit in half, which could negatively impact international students' ability to stay and work in Quebec after completing their studies.
