Nations with high immigrant student populations are progressively limiting the amount of new student visas that are approved. australia recently imposed restrictions on the number of overseas students it will accept, and canada has now done the same. canada chose to impose a 35% restriction on student visas this year and an additional 10% restriction the next year in an effort to lower the number of temporary residents living in the nation.
Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau posted, "We're granting 35% fewer international student permits this year," announcing the same on social media site X. And that figure will drop by an additional 10% the following year. He went on, "Immigration is good for our economy, but we crack down when bad actors abuse the system and take advantage of students."
Canada authorized 5,09,390 student visas in 2023 and 1,75,920 in the first seven months of 2024, according to official figures. The proposed regulations may limit the amount of student visas to 4,37,000 by 2025. The ruling will have a significant effect on indian students who intend to study in Canada.

Out of the 13.35 lakh indian students studying abroad, 4.27 lakh are enrolled in Canadian universities, according to figures given by the indian government last month.
