They are freaking out about loosing money. They do not care if students get refused admission into a program even if they got amazing grades due to too much competition from international students.
Will they actually be losing money? Let us see if by the end by September 2024, there are fewer new students from the rest of Canada who are registered than in 2023.
Financially if there are fewer this means their spot(s) will have been taken by non-Canadians who pay much higher tuition fees or by Québec residents paying the lower fees, It may be that the tuition fees paid globally by the ROC students will be just about the same even if there are fewer .
I was transferred and moved from Alberta 30 some years ago . My net pay check was a couple of hundred dollars a month less than before my move... same employer same salary. After ten years I was a good $ 20 000 poorer than if I had stayed out west .If so I could easily have afforded to pay higher tuition fees to send my children to Concordia or McGill.
Now to fish in Alberta I need to buy a non resident fishing licence but as a senior Alberta resident I could get my licence a no cost. .To take the STM bus and metro in Montreal I have to pay ..were I a resident of Montreal Island I could travel for free as a senior .
Differences in fees on the basis of residence is common and well accepted.
