The government of Canada has declared its intention to significantly reduce the number of foreign students enrolled in its universities. The new strategy states that admission to international institutions will be capped at 10% by 2025, a significant 36% drop from 2023 levels.
This action is a part of a larger plan to control the number of temporary residents, including foreign workers and students, in Canada. The administration intends to tighten rules for work permits for international students in addition to enrolling fewer students.
Indian students are anticipated to be among those most impacted by these developments, according to reports from the Indian media.
