In 2023, over 650,000 study permits were issued, bringing the total number of international students to more than a million\u2014three times the figure from a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who plans to resign in March, had pledged to reduce immigration levels amid declining public support for newcomers. New measures include requiring master&#8217;s and post-doctoral students to submit Provincial or Territorial Attestation Letters, which confirm their inclusion in the federal cap. These letters were introduced in 2024 as part of the permit application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While international students face higher tuition fees, their economic contributions are significant. However, the government has emphasized the need to balance these benefits with infrastructure and service demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada will cap the number of international student permits issued in 2025 to 437,000, marking a 10% reduction from the 2024 limit, according to the Immigration Ministry.
