THE IMMIGRATION MINISTER ANNOUNCED A STATEMENT ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENT DISTRIBUTION ACROSS PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES

The Immigration Minister recently announced significant updates regarding the distribution of study permits for international students across Canadian provinces and territories in 2024. Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, unveiled the finalized provincial and territorial allocations on April 5, 2024.

This year, the cap for study permits has been set at 485,000, with an expected 20% extension rate. This extension leads to a revised target of 364,000 approved permits. To manage the application volume, considering a 60% approval rate, the application cap is set at 606,000. However, exemptions have been granted to certain groups, resulting in a final target of 236,000 approved permits, roughly equivalent to 393,000 applications.

The allocations were distributed based on each region's population share, with adjustments made to limit growth and support Canada's immigration goals. Provinces with lower approval rates received additional allocations to balance the distribution. The total allocation for study permit applications is approximately 552,000, with an expected yield of about 292,000 approved permits. This marks a 28% reduction from the previous year, reflecting Canada's measured approach to managing immigration.
