At a time of closing borders and closing minds, international opportunities for Canadian students are essential. When Canadian students go abroad – to study, research or learn a new language – they develop essential skills, perspectives and networks that will not only help them navigate our rapidly changing labour market, but also enhance Canada’s productivity and competitiveness.
