Canada Implements Cap on International Student Permits
What this means for you
For prospective international students, this means significantly fewer study permits will be approved, making it more challenging to relocate to Canada for education.
Now
Canada has implemented a limit on new international study permit applications for the next two years, effective Jan. 22, 2024, capping approved permits at approximately 360,000, a 35% reduction from 2023. The processing target for 2025 will be re-assessed at the end of 2024.
