Even before Covid-19 closed colleges and stopped most international travel, fewer graduate students from India, a key source of tech talent in America, decided to study at U.S. universities. More recently, the Trump administration imposed new rules against the admission of Chinese graduate students and is considering suspending or eliminating Optional Practical Training (OPT) for international students. Restrictive immigration policies in the United States, combined with more attractive policies in Canada, have shifted the flow of international students, which carries major implications for America’s tech future.
“The number of international students from India enrolled in graduate-level computer science and engineering at U.S. universities declined by more than 25% between the computer science degree jobs,” according to a new analysis of government data by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP). “The evidence indicates many Indian students are choosing Canada over the United States as the place to study and make their careers.”
