IRCC announces tighter cap for study permits and changes to PGWP eligibility

The cap on foreign enrollment is here to stay, according to Marc Miller, Canada's minister of immigration.

Only 437,000 study permits will be granted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in 2025. This figure, according to the department, is predicated on stabilizing the intake quota for 2026 after a 10% drop from the goal of issuing 485,000 new study permits in 2024.

Over the following four years, the IRCC anticipates that 300,000 fewer study permits will be granted to overseas students as a result of this.
