“…CAPS-I, MCIE) in K-12 demonstrated by growing memberships and capacity in government lobbying. This finding confirms and adds to the emerging literature, where scholars have documented an increased provincial utilization of control over immigrant selection and the rise of post-secondary educational institutions as non-governmental selection actors for immigration in Canada (Brunner, 2017;McCartney & Metcalfe, 2018). We are witnessing governments incentivizing individual students to invest in their own education, as is evident in growing tuition costs and declining public funding.…”

International education has become a policy sector of growing importance to Canada. With increased government regulations, disconnect is often observed between the intended policy outcomes and practice. This study aims to explain this disconnect by analyzing the heterogeneity among stakeholder interests. It focuses on 1) distribution of authority; 2) heterogeneity of values; and 3) complementarities and clashes in policy issues. A multi-level governance (MLG) framework (Chou et. al., 2017; Hooghe Marks, 2003), as a guiding theoretical lens, is applied to examine the interactions among governments (federal-provincial), non-governmental organizations, school administrators, international students and their families in the context of the Manitoba K-12 sector. Data for this study were collected through document analysis and 40 semi-structured interviews. Findings indicate increased steering power of both the federal and provincial governments to regulate international education with conflicting agendas based on political ideologies. The pursuit of Canada’s economic competitiveness through K-12 international education has led to a rise in the authority of non-governmental actors, including parents and students, to shape the services, programs and curriculum content offered by public schools. The study proposes adding an additional layer to the MLG framework, that of the complexities within stakeholder groups.

“…While pathway programs had existed in other countries since the 1980s, SFU opened the first pathway in Canada in 2006 (Agosti & Bernat, 2018;Rahilly & Hudson, 2018). As an institutional form, they spread rapidly across the country; by 2018 72% of the members of Universities Canada had at least one pathway program or affiliation, including all of the universities examined in this study (McCartney & Metcalfe, 2018). A significant number (32%) of these pathways were partnerships with private, for-profit educational corporations (McCartney & Metcalfe, 2018).…”

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.

“…By now, there are at least three established, interrelated areas that are the subject of critical inquiry within CIS: economism, or the sense that internationalization efforts are oriented primarily by economic concerns while social and ecological justice remain at best secondary and often tokenistic concerns (e.g., McCartney & Metcalfe, 2018;Stier, 2011); eurocentrism, or the concern that both curricula and research within Western and even many non-Western institutions continue to be dominated by Western ways of knowing, being, and relating (e.g., George Mwangi & Yao, 2021;Kramer, 2009;Tikly, 2004); and racism, or the fact that international students, staff, and faculty are the target of interpersonal and institutional racism as well as xenophobia, ethno-nationalism, and linguistic discrimination (e.g., Brown & Jones, 2013;Lee & Rice, 2007). Despite the important scholarship and conversations that exist about these areas, each requires further inquiry and examination, particularly in relation to the complexities, paradoxes, and challenges that inevitably emerge in efforts to interrupt harmful patterns and practices.…”

In this paper, we introduce our special issue, “Internationalization for an Uncertain Future: Emerging Conversations in Critical Internationalization Studies.” In addition to reviewing the individual contributions to this issue, we also consider emerging areas of inquiry in the field of critical internationalization studies (CIS), and invite consideration of how the field might responsibly confront the challenges, complexities, and possibilities that emerge in efforts to imagine and practice internationalization otherwise in today’s complex, uncertain, and unequal world.
