Canada student visa restrictions: Implications on Indian Students

Canada to tighten student visa rules in the year 2025 because of an acute paucity of accommodation and infrastructure cramming under the weight of an international student influx over the last ten years. The federal government has placed a cap on the number of international student study permits granted — 437,000 for 2025, which represents a 10% reduction from this year — in an effort to reduce pressure on housing, health care and other public services. This blog will discuss in detail the Canada student visa restriction in 2025 and its impact on the Indian students particularly. 

Housing Shortage Impact on Visa Policy

The news “Canada to tighten student visa” is not just a random policy change it is backed by the housing shortage problem in Canada.

  • More than 55% of international students, many of them from India, face difficulty finding appropriate and affordable places to live in Canada. This housing squeeze is further compounded by increasing rents, lack of rentable accommodation and the systematic discrimination experienced by international students, particularly in high-demand rental markets.

  • The government has pointed to these housing issues as a major reason for introducing the study permit caps. By controlling the seeming flood of international students, Canada is hoping to curb the demand on housing as well as the strain on public services in the major hubs for students.
