In order to reduce the number of international students coming to the country for post-secondary education, Canada is preparing to cut study visas. It is expected that the reduction in study visas will occur at the end of this year. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada issued a record 579,075 study visas in 2023. As a result, the number of international students increased from 617,250 in 2021 to over 900,000 in 2023. Public opinion has raised concerns about the capacity for accommodation in urban areas and the responsibility of high immigration levels and international students for these issues. According to media reports, the Canadian government is planning to reduce study visas to a sustainable level.
Currently, different Canadian provinces have the autonomy to admit international students in any number to educational institutions, but now the federal government will issue study permits to international students.
