| Descripción: | Abstract Hosting international students has long been admired as one of the hallmarks of internationalization. The two major formative strands of internationaliza- tion in Canadian universities are development cooperation and international students. With reduced public funding for higher education, institutions are aggressively recruiting international students to generate additional revenue. Canada is equally interested in offering incentives for international students to stay in the country as immigrants after completing their studies. In its 2011 budget, the Canadian federal government earmarked funding for an interna- tional education strategy and, in 2010, funded Edu-Canada—the marketing unit within the Department of Education and Foreign Affairs (DFAIT)—to de- velop an official Canadian brand to boost educational marketing, IMAGINE: Education in/au Canada. This model emulates the Australian one, which rap- idly capitalized on the recruitment of international students and became an international success story. Given current Canadian higher education policy trends, this paper will address the cautionary lessons that can be drawn from the Australian case.Résumé Accueillir des étudiants étrangers a longtemps été considéré comme l’une des caractéristiques principales de l’internationalisation. On considère en effet que les deux principales lignées formatrices de l’internationalisation parmi les universités canadiennes sont l’accueil d’étudiants étrangers et la coopération pour le développement. Le financement public de l’enseignement supérieur s’étant amoindri, les gouvernements et les établissements d’enseignement d’autres pays recrutent énergiquement les étudiants étrangers dans l’espoir de produire des revenus supplémentaires. Le Canada est tout aussi intéressé à présenter des mesures incitatives aux étudiants étrangers afin qu’ils immigrent au pays. En effet, dans son budget de 2011, le gouvernement fédéral du Canada attribuait des fonds à une stratégie d’enseignement internationale un an après avoir fondé Edu-Canada, un service de marketing au sein du ministère de l’Éducation et de celui des Affaires étrangères et du Commerce international. L’objectif d’Edu-Canada est de créer une image de marque canadienne officielle, aujourd’hui baptisée IMAGINE: Education au/in Canada, pour relancer le marketing de l’enseignement. Ce faisant, le Canada imite l’Australie, l’un des premiers pays occidentaux à rapidement tirer profit du recrutement d’étudiants étrangers pour en faire une réussite. Devant les tendances politiques actuelles en enseignement supérieur au Canada, cet article présente les leçons de prudence à tirer du cas de l’Australie. |
