Chinese students not deterred by Canadian-Chinese tensions
Although the number of Chinese visitors has decreased in the face of rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries, Ming Pao reports that the number of Chinese students coming to study in Canada continues to rise, benefiting the country’s economic development. Ming Pao reports that in the first five months of 2019, 180,000 visit visas have been approved for Chinese applicants, significantly less than the more than 210,000 for the same period in the previous two years. However, the study permits approved for Chinese applicants increased to 30,000 in the first five months of 2019, steadily increasing from the numbers of the previous two years.
