Recent policy shifts in traditional English-speaking countries—namely the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia—are reshaping global student mobility patterns. Stricter immigration and visa regulations in these nations have prompted international students to seek alternative study destinations that offer quality education, affordability, and favorable visa policies.
This trend has significant implications not only for host universities but also for a variety of businesses and organizations that support the overall international student mobility space. A change in student flow patterns will necessitate strategic adaptations from educational institutions, businesses, and policymakers to sustain and grow in this evolving landscape.
