anada is set to reduce the number of study permits for foreign students and tighten work permit eligibility to decrease the number of temporary residents, the government announced on Wednesday. This decision comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, which is trailing in opinion polls and dealing with a recent by-election loss, seeks to manage the growing influx of international students and foreign workers.

With a federal election scheduled by October 2025, this has become a key political issue. The new changes will reduce international study permits to 437,000 by 2025, down from 509,390 in 2023. As of the first seven months of 2024, 175,920 permits had already been granted. Additionally, the reforms will limit work permit eligibility for the spouses of certain students and temporary foreign workers.
