There has been a major drop in the number of students from India going to Canada. This is a surprising trend. Despite an 85-90 percent visa approval rate in the second quarter of this year, the number of Canada visa applications from Indian students has fallen drastically.
The most important thing in this is that this reduction is also being seen in Punjab. Punjab alone sends 70 to 75 percent of the total Indian students going to Canada. This reduction is 70-80 percent compared to last year. While no such limit has been imposed by Canada. Apart from this, cohabitation with students studying in graduate courses is also allowed.
Visa backlog
According to media reports, visa approvals are very high in Canada at this time. Visas are also given to those applicants who have been rejected several times before. People above 40 years of age are also given visas.
According to media reports, a large number of students from India, especially from Punjab, went to Canada in the last 3-4 years, leading to a visa backlog. But new restrictions and increased financial requirements have discouraged many new applicants. This is leading to a decline in the number of students.
What changes have happened?
Canada recently changed its rules. The rules state that 'Previously, under the Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP), spouses could attend graduate programs with enrolled students, but this was largely restricted.
Now it is only available for a few courses. In addition, the Canadian government has decided to double the Guaranteed Investment Program (GIC), which is now more than $20,000. This has made studies expensive for many people.
