“…International education is valued as a trade, but it is also viewed as an important source for satisfying the needs of the Canadian labour market. Canadian students are encouraged as well to study abroad for developing their outlook and global perspective (Trilokekar & Jones, 2013).…”

The article reveals the experience of Canadian universities in the sphere of internationalization and its implementation into the academic process of the Ukrainian higher agrarian education. The authors of the article examined works of Canadian researchers concerning internationalization in higher education, the process of adaptation of international students to the foreign environment, in particular, those which describe the outcomes of students, belonging to non-European intellectual traditions. It was found out that the Canadian strategies in internationalization had resulted in increasing quality of education and scientific research by establishing links with international partners due to the active academic mobility, multicultural awareness and integration into the world scientific society. Analysing and resuming the materials, the questionnaires were compeled to identify the initial level of adaptation of international students to the Ukrainian agrarian university, focused on housing information, challenges, learning the English and Ukrainian languages, university authority support for international students, etc. Assuming findings of the study, pedagogical conditions, appropriate to successful adaptation of international students to the academic and cultural environment of the university were distinguished. The intercultural trainings programme was targeted to facilitate the process of international students’ adaptation to the new multicultural academic environment, as well as provide the necessary skills for intercultural communication.

“…Instead, the federal government's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade engaged in a few programs of "cultural relations" through funding of the Canadian Studies Program Abroad and furthering Canada's "brand" (Karram Stephenson, 2018;Trilokekar, Jones, & Shubert, 2009). Scholars critiqued this gap stating "the absence of a national policy in Canada has led to a piecemeal and largely uncoordinated approach, and Canada has only a small share of the global market for higher education," (Trilokekar & Jones, 2013). When the first International Education Strategy (2014-2019) was finally launched, it set specific targets such as doubling the number of international students coming to Canada, accessing high-yield country markets for recruitment, creating 86,500 new jobs sustained by international education, and improving pathways for international students to remain in Canada as citizens (Global Affairs Canada, 2019).…”

This paper examines professors’ perceptions of internationalization activities at Canadian universities using the findings of the Academic Profession in the Knowledge-based Society (APIKS) survey. The findings suggest academic disciplines are the organizing logic for diverse manifestations of internationalization within the same universities. Professors in the hard sciences are more likely to publish internationally while those in the arts and humanities are more likely to internationalize their curriculum. The findings are analysed contextually, pointing to the decentralization of Canadian higher education as well as university governance which has exacerbated, yet rarely recognized, these disciplinary divides. The paper calls for new conceptual understandings of internationalization that take into account disciplinary divides.

“…Most of the scholarship examining the history of international student policy in Canada has focused on the period after 2000, an era that is commonly associated with internationalization (Knight, 2015). A central focus in this work has been the issue of a federal-level internationalization strategy, which was not created until 2014 (Government of Canada, 2014), and the effect its absence and then creation has had on Canadian international student policy (e.g., Anderson, 2015;Bégin-Caouette, 2018;Desai-Trilokekar & Jones, 2015;Garson, 2016;Johnstone & Lee, 2014Knight-Grofe & Deacon, 2016;Sá & Sabzalieva, 2018;Tamtik, 2017;Tamtik et al, 2020;Trilokekar & El Masri, 2016a, 2016bTrilokekar & Kizilbash, 2013;Viczko & Tascón, 2016). The effect of this focus has been to situate the creation of the national strategy as the central event in the history of international student policy.…”

“A question of self-interest”: A brief history of 50 years of international student policy in Canada

This article offers a periodization of the history of international student policy in Canada since 1970. It draws on archival sources at seven public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and Ontario, as well as governmental discussion in both provinces and at the Federal level, and scholarly writing about international students within the Canadian Journal of Higher Education to construct this history. Four key periods are identified: the emergence of differential fee policies in the 1970s; an era of institutional recruitment efforts in the 1980s and 1990s; a period of active government recruitment in the 2000s; and an era of bifurcating priorities as governments expanded their recruitment efforts but scholars began to question the international student project in Canada. The article shows changes in international student policy over the past half-century, but also reveals continuities, most notably a sustained emphasis on serving Canada’s perceived national interests.
