Question for Canadians

I just read that Poilievre’s stance includes Criminal background checks for Canadian student visa holders.

Is this something that wasn’t done before for international students?

My daughter is an international student in Europe and had to get one done

This Canadian has no idea what foreign students have had to do to come to Canada to study. I knew a lot of foreign students when I was in university and liked them all but never discussed what the process was for going to school in Canada.

@hippyjoe1955 well I just googled it and apparently they do not need a criminal background check to come to Canada to study.

@Jenny1234 Makes sense. I didn't think so but then again not being a foreign student I didn't know. I don't think that criminal checks mean anything beyond you haven't been caught yet.

@hippyjoe1955 I think they need to have them if they’re coming here for anything other than a short vacation
