This marks an increase of 33,950 compared to the previous year, where 437,600 new permanent residents were admitted.
In the first half of 2023, Nigerians became Canada’s fastest-growing international student group, experiencing a 44 percent surge in study permits issued, surpassing the total for all of 2022.
The new instructions outline that IRCC will process a maximum of 606,250 applications, irrespective of the approval outcome on each application.
The provinces with the highest concentration of international students are Ontario, boasting 526,015, followed by British Columbia with 202,565, and Quebec with 117,925.
The cap is set to result in approximately 360,000 approved study permits, marking a 35 percent decrease from the previous year.
According to the proposed plan, each province will receive a designated allotment from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for study permits. The leaked memo also noted that immigration officials are considering a model similar to Quebec’s, where provincial governments must provide a supporting letter for each study permit application.
The Federal Court ruled that the delay significantly exceeded the usual processing time for study permit applications, noting it was “more than seven times the usual average of nine months.”
The surge indicated the highest population growth in any quarter since 1957.
In the first half of 2023, Canada granted nearly 18,000 study permits to Nigerian students, a record-breaking figure surpassed only by India.
This proposal comes on the heels of comments made by Immigration Minister Marc Miller, hinting at a potential reevaluation of international student enrollment in the country.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller recently hinted at a possible reevaluation of international student enrollment.
Eligibility for the program requires that foreign nationals either hold a valid work permit or have applied to renew their work permit by June 7. Those authorized to work under paragraph 186 (u) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations are also eligible.
Applicants will only need to attain an overall band score of 6.0 in the IELTS Academic test, eliminating the previous requirement for minimum scores in each section. This allows test takers to showcase their comprehensive language abilities without the added pressure of excelling in every individual segment.
The main reason provided by Canadian immigration authorities for these refusals is the perceived low likelihood of students returning to their home countries after graduation.
