Many families across Canada are preparing to welcome students into their homes this month! 🥰 International students have become part of the cultural fabric across many Canadian cities and have a tremendous impact on the local communities in which they live. These students not only inspire global curiosity and create cultural awareness amongst the local population, but also generate substantial demand for food, housing, transport, retail and entertainment services. The economic contributions of international students to Canada cannot be overlooked, as they promote employment growth and prosperity for our local communities. In 2018, international students in Canada contributed an estimated $21.6 billion to Canada’s GDP and supported almost 170,000 jobs for Canada’s middle class. ✅ MANY THANKS to our host families for contributing to their communities by hosting international students! ❤ #FCIHostfamilies #FCIfamiliesRock #hostfamilieswanted #diversitymatters #internationalstudents
