Justin Trudeau Visa Policy: Canada's Justin Trudeau government has implemented a new visa policy in the country. Canada will suffer billions of dollars in losses from this policy. The effect of this new immigration policy will also be seen on Indian students in Canada. According to one report, this policy is expected to cost Ontario alone more than 1 billion Canadian dollars over the next two years.
Indian students will also be affected
The number of students of Indian origin in Canada is very high. Due to its shortage, Canada will also suffer a big loss. The Justin Trudeau government of Canada has also implemented several policies to manage the number of international students in the country. The most important of these measures is placing limits on foreign registration. This will reduce the number of new study permits by 35 percent in the year 2024. Another 10 percent reduction will be made in the year 2025. A study permit requires students to have savings of more than 20 thousand Canadian dollars.
The role of Indian students in Canada is important
The role of Indian students is very important in the Canadian education system. The number of study permit holders from India has increased by 47 percent to a total of more than 3,19,000 in the year 2022. Till August, 1,37,445 Indian students have received permits. Which is four percent less than 2023. According to official figures, about 6 lakh Indian students are studying in Canada. However, now this number may be less.
Ontario's worst damage only
Ontario alone is home to 40 percent of Canada's total students. This immigration policy is going to have the biggest impact here. According to the report, Steve Orsini, president and CEO of the Council of Ontario Universities, said the policy changes would cause Ontario universities to lose C$300 million in 2024–25 and C$600 million in 2025–26.
