Canada cuts Indian student visas by 31% as new immigration rules hit

Quick Summary:

In line with this goal, the IRCC set a new annual cap of 4,37,000 study permits for 2025, down from 4,85,000 in 2024.

The decline comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney, who took office on April 28, 2025, pushes ahead with a campaign promise to curb temporary migration.

Indian students have been the biggest group of international students in Canada for years.
