In a significant move to manage the rising demand for education in Canada, the government has announced a cap of 437,000 study permits for 2025. This represents a 10% reduction from the 2024 levels and applies to all educational levels, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and vocational training.
The reduction comes as part of a broader strategy to address resource constraints, including housing shortages and institutional capacities. International students, who make up a large portion of Canada’s academic population, will now face increased competition for study permits.
Why This Matters:
A reduced number of permits means earlier application submissions will be crucial.
Securing a study permit will depend on having a complete and compelling application that meets all requirements.
The change could impact global students’ plans, requiring better preparation and quicker action.
