Numbers May Come down To 4 Lakh In 2025

Immigration Data reports revealed that Canada issued over 5 lakh study permits in 2023. However, after the implementation of the new rule, it is expected to come down by over 4 lakh in 2025.

The 35% cut was foreseen after the Canadian Government announced a two-year cap on foreign students in January.

Foreign Minister Of Canada On The New Rule

While speaking to the media, Foreign Minister of Canada, Marc Miller stated that coming to the country was not a right but a privilege. He further commented, “Not everybody who wants to move to Canada will be able to do it.”

The Foreign Minister added that they are taking strong action to strengthen temporary residence and planning a comprehensive immigration policy.

Impact On Indians

Canada’s move to introduce a new immigration policy will leave Indian students with an option to apply for courses elsewhere – the UK, USA, Russia, etc. These changes may have huge effects on young students as Canada tries to get along with the benefits of immigration. The other changes include restricting work permit access to spouses of some students and temporary foreign workers.
