The federal government will reduce the number of international student study permits for Canada in 2025 by 10%, lowering the target from 485,000 to 437,000. This cap aims to address housing and affordability concerns. Immigration Minister Marc Miller stated that the measures are having an impact, though Universities Canada has criticized the cap, citing a 45% drop in international student enrollment. Additional limits on work permits for spouses and changes to post-graduation permits are also planned.
