The Canadian government may cut student visas further. Immigration Minister Lina Diab is set to launch a consultation on immigration targets this summer, with a focus on student visas.
This comes after the federal government last year announced a cap on study permits and a gradual reduction in the number of student visas.
A spokeswoman for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says the government expects schools to only accept students they can support by providing housing and other services.
Meanwhile, the main opposition Conservatives are already in favor of this cut, with the party's immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner saying they want to see a quick and large reduction in student visas due to youth unemployment and a housing crisis in Canada.
