Canada Reduces International Student Permits, Adds New Requirements
For international students planning to study in Canada, this means increased competition for study permits and new administrative steps, specifically obtaining a provincial letter of attestation, will be required.
Canada is reducing the number of new study permits for international students in 2024 and 2025. This change sets a cap of 606,250 applications for affected programs in 2024.
The new policy also introduces additional requirements for applicants. These include the need for a “provincial letter of attestation.”
