Indian Students Face Soaring Rejections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The decision comes amid alarming data showing Indian students are the hardest hit by visa rejections<\/a><\/strong>. According to the PIE, four out of five Indian applicants were refused study permits<\/strong> between April and June 2025. Approval rates have plunged to 38% this year<\/strong>, a sharp fall from the average of 60% over the past decade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decline in Study Permits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reported that the number of study permits for Indian students fell by over 66%<\/strong> in the second quarter of 2025, from 55,660 in 2024 to just 17,885 this year<\/strong>. Overall, Indian students made up 32% of study permits<\/strong>, compared to 45% in 2024<\/strong>. The drop is part of a larger downward trend that began in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wider Impact on International Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Canada issued nearly 100,000 fewer study permits<\/strong> in the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024. Total permits dropped from 245,055 to 149,860<\/strong>, showing how the government\u2019s tighter controls are reshaping the international education landscape. Political observers link the policy shift to rising anti-immigrant sentiment<\/strong> within Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These new immigration measures are expected to be detailed in the government\u2019s upcoming plan to Parliament. While Canada has long been a top destination for Indian students, the steep decline in visa approvals<\/strong> raises concerns about academic and career prospects for thousands. Experts believe the shift could redirect Indian students toward countries like Australia, the UK, and the US<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
