The international student cap is the most significant move in recent history: Benjamin Tal

Canada’s student permit system was being abused, the international student cap and work permit changes will help to address this. That’s according to Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC, who says it will take a few years however before we start seeing the effects on our housing supply and labour force.

My colleagues and I believe we heard this week from Miller: For higher populated provinces like Ontario a two year 50% cap (perhaps more)is being launched effecting Sept 2024 semester+. Less populated provinces, 35%. However certain students are cap-exempt, i.e. physicians, nurses, skilled trade workers. International students will need to attach a "provincial attestation" to their study permit. Meaning the student must legally verify (via Canadian standards) that ALL of their necessary documents are indeed authentic. Including per year showing they have $21,000 in savings (after their tuition is paid plus roundtrip travel costs). Elements of monthly bank records will need to be shown (if asked for) proving the money is indeed THEIRS plus THEY are using it to pay for things they need from WITHIN Canada. No fraud. No work permit for spouses. Unless the student is exempt, i.e. a physician. Hence eliminating all the fake marriages. Student's work permit expires upon graduation. Unless they qualify for exemptions. Caps/restrictions/strict-authentications. PRIVATE colleges investigated (foreign interference). Cda schools are no longer to be used for people solely wanting PR or, even worse, plan on staying in Cda illegally if disqualified. No more foreign agents, aka smugglers, cashing in too.

I had just relocated to northern B.C., and was attending a business fair at the local college. I noticed the majority of students seemed to be foreign. At the time, I was very enthusiastic about the arrangement. I went to a nursing class at the same college. The nursing instructor began with the words, "You will all pass". She was right, but it was because the class was not at all difficult (or even ethical). After living there for almost a decade, I started to catch on that the college brought massive amounts of money into the community. I also worked in a homeless shelter full of Canadian guests, staffed by many foreign students. It was a union job, so these students were definitely NOT cheap labor. Despite protocol, they would leave guests out in -35C, while laughing in their faces. When they weren't lying to, taking advantage of, and being extremely sadistic and abusive to our guests, they were scrolling on their phones not doing their jobs. I'm fine with bringing in nurses from other countries. As an ex-nurse, I know that the nursing "education" in Canada is a joke. Ask a nurse what the "nursing diagnosis" of "imbalanced energy field" means. The real cause of the nursing shortage before the pandemic was nurse to nurse abusiveness (Google "nurses eat their young"). So bringing in nurses from countries where the labor laws are more lax, so they are already used to the abuse, is a good idea.

Harper changed the immigration rules in 2012. 50% of migrants to Canada used to be economic, that's those who earn $250k or more. Harper changed it to 70%. 20% of the housing supply was rental units. Talking about Math, there's some very simple Math for you. 20% and 20% plus 12 years.

If they think their citizens and native canadians are enough to fulfill the job market and making contribution for their country's economy then they have to close all the immigration programs as well as study programs for all the international students(not just targeting undergraduate students) for next two years. Then see who gonna impacted the most specially the universities and colleges of canada with empty chairs. They have to stop sending their delegations of canadian colleges and universities to other countries specially countries in south asia because i know some radical native canadians targeting and blaming only people of these countries but still their universities seeking an oxygen over there coz they know they generate 65% revenue of canadian education from these countries i not gonna named, so stop disrespecting and hurting the emotions of south asian people and asked your university delegations stop visiting there if you really dont wanna see them in canada. They are working as an specialist doctors, IT engineers and other professionals after investing heavy amount on canadian education, they are not begging for anything from canadian govt. There are several true stories available on internet sharing their bitter experiences for immigrate to canada. One person even quoted "EARNED IN DUBAI AND WASTED IN CANADA".

I feel sorry for the individual immigrant/student who comes to Canada thinking it's a great place to be. They are pawns in a political and profit based system.

[@amyseaden9069]

Canada is reducing the number of international students not banning international students. The number is still high considering Canada’s population. We likely still have one of the highest international student population based on our popularize size. Also Canada has a lot people on other temporary permits. Canada is just trying to reduce number of temporary permit holders so they will have a chance of securing PR eventually. Also trying to eliminate the non-genuine students who don’t even go to class and are in Canada to work. Also trying to shut down those who are running, especially private colleges in Canada, since provinces wouldn’t shut them down and has allowed private/public partnerships. The fact that there aren’t many limits of master, PhD and other shorterm postgrad programs means that Canada values genuine students.

[@amyseaden9069]

@@Stormshftera large percentage of international students are only studying in Canada to secure PR aren’t genuine students. International students studying not because they are genuine students but because they think this is the easiest way to secure PR are naive and innocent? They are taking advantage of Canada as well. Many prioritize working over studying. Canada hasn’t closed the international student program and is still accepting a large number of students. They are reducing numbers which will actually benefit international students. With the current numbers most international students would struggle to obtain PR and would have to return home. At lower numbers their chance of obtaining PR increases.

I remember when the story broke about someone in India who was forging acceptance letters from Canadian schools. Global news was talking to one of the people who was being deported. He was currently a truck driver. Read that anyway u want. Lol Was just a scam to get into the country. Truck driver job was probably waiting for him. Canada has enough truck drivers.

[@cornershop9617]

​@@Stormshfterthey are mostly punjabis and sikhs who work as truck drivers.
