🚨 The Canadian government plans to stop processing study permits for colleges and universities that don't track international student enrollments. This move requires institutions to report if students are attending and following permit rules. Switching schools? Students will need a new permit. 🇨🇦
Why? To restore confidence in the international student program. In 2023, Canada had over 1 million permit holders, up from 300k in 2015. The program has faced criticism for contributing to housing crises, healthcare shortages, and social tensions. Immigration Minister Marc Miller has even introduced a two-year cap on new study permits.
This proposal aims to ensure permits are only processed for trusted institutions. Estimated cost? Almost $87 million over 10 years.
