On Monday, Canada unveiled a two-year restriction on admitting foreign students in response to a surge in enrollment that has exacerbated the nation’s housing scarcity. Government data reveals that Canada granted almost 1 million study permits last year, a threefold increase from a decade ago. The proposed measure aims to reduce admissions by nearly one-third. Marc Miller, Canada’s immigration minister, announced that the Liberal government will implement a temporary cap on student visas, limiting the issuance to approximately 364,000 in 2024.
