On July 15, 2024, British Columbia announced phase 2 of its International Education Framework to enhance safeguards for international students. Building on phase 1 from January 2024, the new measures set higher standards and rigorous academic requirements. Key changes include mandating at least 50% of program delivery in-person, ensuring staff support for international students, and compliance with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Public institutions face caps on international student enrollment. These steps aim to ensure quality education and support for international students, fostering a positive experience in British Columbia.
