International students represent the best source of potential immigrants to Newfoundland and Labrador who can help grow our population and build a stronger economy. Currently, there are over 2,500 international students studying at our post-secondary institutions – many of whom graduate every year in various disciplines. Each year many of them decide to live and work in our province after graduation.
