Canadian government will reduce international student visas

For students who go to Canada for studies, going to Canada will now become a little difficult. Actually, the Canadian government has reduced the student visas by 35 percent this year. This means that the Canadian government will now issue 35 percent less visas than it used to issue to foreign students every year. Since Canada is a favorite study destination for Indian students, this step of the Canadian government can affect Indian students.

The Canadian government says that it is considering reducing the number of temporary residents, under which this step has been taken. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says, foreign immigration is beneficial for our economy, but when some bad elements abuse the system and exploit students, we have to take action.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a post on Xpert late Wednesday night, we are issuing 35 percent fewer international student permits this year, and next year it will be reduced by another 10 percent. According to the Trudeau government, the target is to issue 4,37,000 study permits in 2025, which is 10 percent less than the 4,85,000 permits issued in 2024.

Canada is a favorite destination for Indian students

Canada is one of the most preferred destinations for Indian students. In such a situation, this announcement of the Canadian government is likely to affect many Indian students who wish to study in Canada. According to the website of the Indian High Commission in Ottawa, education is a major area of ​​​​mutual interest between India and Canada. India is the largest source of foreign students, and an estimated 4,27,000 Indian students are currently studying in Canada. At the same time, regarding work permits for foreign workers, he said that we are working on strengthening our temporary residence program and introducing a more comprehensive immigration program to meet the demands of today's changing landscape.
