Already, on- and off-campus housing shortages are restricting the growth of universities and colleges. In Sydney, N.S., Cape Breton University had to cap admissions to its two-year post-baccalaureate program because of a lack of housing opportunities in a town that is home to fewer than 20,000 residents. The program was hugely popular with international students, but the housing shortages got in the way.
Those international students who choose to stay will help address the impending labour shortages in Canada since the pandemic motivated many workers to retire sooner. But that’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, tens of thousands of international students are needed to help sustain innovation in engineering and other labs. On the other hand, they are exacerbating the rental housing shortage.
Numerous new student housing initiatives are in the works in British Columbia. For example, Vancouver Community College is building 3,300 apartments to provide affordable housing alternatives for students.Article content

Be Canada. Be in the middle of a national housing crisis. Import 1 million people. Housing crisis gets worse... Trudeau - 'The housing crisis will balance itself'
More fallout from Liberal/NDP policies and their failure to close illegal border crossings.
It would be smart to peg immigration to housing. It also allows us to be picky about who we let in. Again that would be the smart thing to do.
As I've said before, The Trudeau Liberals seem to have disdain for younger Canadians. How else could you possibly explain the fact that a lot of their policies seem to hurt them the most?
Don't worry. We have lots of tenting spaces available in downtown Vancouver.
Trudeau’s government. Spend way more, increase the pressure on all of our services, but somehow do absolutely nothing to accommodate the additional people in any way. Other than giving them some free taxpayer money. Way to go Trudeau! You’re a disaster in every way
Does immigration require an immediate increase in infrastructure, services, and logistics? Who would have imagined... 🤔
The current governments immigration plan is failing to increase the services to keep up with people coming in, increase in Doctors, housing, hospital beds & schools should all be part of an immigration plan.
