Budget Cuts to schools in Canada
Yes being someone who is in the top of my program with many international students, I have seen some who have less then the average continue on. Here the average is a 2.0 over your last two terms. So each year as long as you have 2.0 average between the both semesters your good to go. 2.0 = C average here. If you have a 1.7 to a 1.9 your placed on marginal (C- average is a 1.7) meaning that if you cant get a 2.0 by end of next year your kicked out. Though to get your degree you need C+ in all courses in your major. For me i need a B- average in all my major courses and i need a C+ average to continue on. I want to do masters after though which is a B average. The best part about masters here is so many are international students every masters student as to take an English Second Language exam to see if you can go into masters. Shows how are Govt is paying for masters yet really its only international students going into them. what degree are you going for? Im in Computer Science.

Budget Cuts to schools in Canada
International students where I am from are all Chinese. They released a number and about 95% of international students are from Asia. Nationalistic does sound better. In Canada it is difficult to get in to any Univ.

Budget Cuts to schools in Canada
So I just love spam topics it seems. Post-Secondary schools have been getting budget cuts this year 7.2% roughly. As well the local government went and did a freeze on tuition so that the cuts would not affect the student. The schools can still up tuition for those coming from outside canada(international students). These cuts made the Faculty of Science loose about 600 students for each new year. They have a limit of 6,100 students a year now instead of 6,700. They also chose to raise the admission average for high school students from an 85% to about a 92% to get in. As far as I am aware this is the highest in all of Canada. They give these spots to the international students since the international student pays about 5 times the cost to go here than the Canadian citizen(out of province pays a little more than the normal cost of tuition). The government also wants schools to not allow students to study areas that are not needed in Canadian workplace(Philosophy degrees where part of the argument being useless) My question is do you think with the budget cuts they should not raise the average but decrease international student spots? We currently have about 4,800 international students a year coming in to fill these spots. Yes, they help fund the school but is more than 50% being non-citizen a good thing? Furthermore, is it racist to cut those international spots? Well thats my little corner of the world news. You dont have to stick to Canada for budget cuts stuff just figured good starting point. Oh and if anyone is interested to know about the Arts programs I believe it was about 200 programs got cut! They did get the worst of it. Edit: only 20 Arts programs got cut. 200 classes for arts cut as well. Thought that number was high. We are also 57 million over budget.
