Canada is implementing a two-year cap (2024-2025) on new study permits for international students, expecting a 35% reduction in 2024. Aimed at controlling exploitative high tuition fees, the move won’t impact existing permits or master’s/PhD pursuits. Indian students, forming 40% of 2023 permits, could feel the impact. Additionally, post-graduate work permits will exclude students in public-private partnership programs from September 1, 2024. The government aims to enhance education quality, combat opportunistic admissions, and address housing and service strain. While posing challenges for Indian students, it could prompt Indian institutions to improve offerings.
