This reduction is part of broader measures introduced by the Canadian government to curb immigration and reduce the strain on infrastructure and services. The Foreign Minister highlighted that \u201ccoming to Canada is a privilege, not a right,\u201d reflecting the government\u2019s desire to limit temporary residency to 5% of the population, down from the current 6.8%. These changes are aimed at ensuring the country\u2019s immigration system remains manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on Work Permits and Temporary Residency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to reducing student permits, Canada will also tighten regulations on work permits, particularly for foreign workers and spouses of international students. This is intended to limit temporary residency, which has surged in recent years, contributing to housing shortages and stretched social services. The government is also ramping up scrutiny on visa applications to prevent fraud and reduce rejected asylum claims. These measures come at a critical time as Trudeau faces political pressure ahead of the 2025 general elections, with immigration becoming a key issue in Canadian politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canadian government has announced a significant reduction in the number of study permits issued to international students, cutting them by 35% in 2024.
