Canada Student Visa Approval: If you want to go abroad for higher studies and on top of that, your dream is to study in Canada, then this dream may not be fulfilled this year. Canada has also tightened the rules for student visas and they plan to issue much fewer student visas this year compared to previous years. In these circumstances, it may be more difficult for Indian students to study in Canada than before. This has come to light in a report, let's know in detail.
There may be such a decrease.
There is a possibility that this time there may be a 50 percent drop in the visas issued from Canada. This year Canada may issue half the visas compared to every year. This has come to light in the report of the Apply Board. It further states that Canada plans to limit the number of foreign students coming here and bring it to the same level as it was in the years 2018 and 2019.
The number has already decreased.
At the beginning of this year, the number of Canada student visa approvals received by India has decreased by half. This makes it clear that when this has happened at the beginning of the year, what will happen next?
This report further states that while 436,000 visa permits were given to international students from Canada in the year 2023, by the end of the year 2024, this number is expected to be limited to 231,000. This shows that compared to last year, there may be a 39 percent decrease in the acceptance of global visa applications i.e. in getting study permits this year.
A large number of Indian students
According to the report of India Today, every year a large number of students from India go to Canada for studies. Talking about the year 2022, out of 5.5 lakh international students coming to Canada, 2.26 lakh students were from India. Not only this, 3.2 lakh Indian students are living in Canada on visas, who are making a big contribution to boosting the economy there.
Rules have been made strict.
Canada's intention to call fewer students to its country is understood from many things. Financial burden has been increased, immigration policies have been made tough. Overall, Canada's behavior does not seem to be cooperative for international students. Rather, such rules are being made and such strictness is being maintained that the inclination of international students to come here is reduced. Students have also started turning to other countries.
