AAU emphasized that these Atlantic Canadian campuses are friendly, secure, and safe on a global, national, and regional scale, demonstrated by the steady increase in enrollments.

The University of Prince Edward Island, Memorial University of Newfoundland, the four schools in New Brunswick, and the ten universities in Nova Scotia all witnessed an increase in visa students, while Cape Breton University saw the biggest jump, at 67.6%. At the Canadian university in Sydney, there are now 3,592 visa students, an increase of 1,594 from last year.

In consideration of some of the past challenges Atlantic Canada faced in attracting immigrants, this expansion has shown potential for change, and the internationalization of universities will be absolutely crucial to the future of the region.
