 \n# International University Students in Canada:Obtaining the Information Needed forPolicy Making\n\nEDWARD A.HOLDAWAY*,WENDY M.BRYANt,and WILFRED H.ALLAN\\#  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nInternational university students represent sources of goodwill and benefits fortheir host countries.Unfortunately,Canada,although still one of the majorreceiving countries,has seen a substantial decline in international enrolmentduring the 1980s.Reasons proposed for this decline include differential fees,insufficient financial support,quotas,and employment restrictions.The problemsmost frequently encountered by international students in Canada involveimmigration procedures,accommodation,language,loneliness,and funding.  \nThe formulation of policies concerning these problems and other mattersrelevant to international university students occurs at the federal,provincial,andinstitutionallevels.Even though the mainforces driving suchpolicies are cultural,financial,and political,the policies should take into account information aboutthe needs,desires,and experiences of international students.A comprehensive1986-87 University ofAlberta survey of international students served as a casestudy to demonstrate how research can better inform policy making in this area.Respondents suggested that they would be helped by being allowed to work inCanada while studying and afier graduation,which is a federal policy area,andby having more scholarships available to them and differentialfees removed,bothof which are provincial and institutional policy areas.  \n## RÉSUMÉ\n\nLes

d'inscription différentiels,I'insuffisance de I'appuifinancier,les quotas et les retrictions d'emploi.Les dificultés auxquelles lesétudiants étrangers doivent faire face le plus souvent au Canada se rapportent auprocessus dimmigrations,au financement,au logement,à la langue et àisolement.  \nLa formulation des politiques relatives à toutes ces questions et à d'autresconcernant ces étudiants se fait aux niveaux du pays,de la province et deIétablissement.Ces politiques se fondent surtout sur des motifs culturels,économiques et politiques.Elles devraient toutefois tenir compte des besoins,desdésirs et de I'expérience des étudiants étrangers.Une enquête détaillée menéeaupres des étudiants étrangers par I'Universté de I'Alberta en 1986-1987 a servipour d'étude de cas pour démontrer commentlarecherche peut aideràéclairer lesresponsables de I'établissement des politiques.Dans cette enquête,les intéressésontfait savoir qu'il leur serait utile d'avoir la permission de travailler au Canadapendant leurs études et après I'obtention de leur diplome,ce qui est une politiqueétablie au niveau fédéral.Ils désireraient aussi avoir accès à davantage debourses et voir annuler les frais differentiels,ce qui relève des provinces et desétablissements.  \nThose who work in Canadian universities are aware of the presence on theircampuses of considerable numbers of students from
