Study Visa In Canada: Canada’s Justin Trudeau government had imposed a limit on international student visas earlier this year. Actually, the reason behind this decision was to reduce the number of foreign students. The Canadian government is keeping a close watch on foreign students regarding its long-term visa program.
This step was taken by the Canadian government because the country is facing rising cost of living, lack of housing and unemployment. Regarding this, the country’s Immigration Minister Mark Miller said that he cannot allow all the students to stay in Canada. Immigration Minister Miller also expressed concern over the growing racism in areas with growing immigrant population in Canada and said that the Canadian government is changing its understanding on immigration.
Working with provinces to meet labor market demands
Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the government is working with the provinces to align immigration with labour market demands. Miller also stressed that study visas should not be seen as a guarantee of future residency or citizenship. Marc Miller says people should come to Canada to educate themselves and then go back and apply those skills back to their country.
Permits are going to come less compared to last year
Canada is a country that has always depended on universities and colleges to attract skills and immigrants, but earlier this year, the Canadian government has put a limit on international student visas. Talking about last year, it is estimated that this year less than 3,00,000 new permits will be received as compared to 4,37,000. After this, the government is now also focusing on which of these students should be given residence in the country after completing their studies.
Jobs should be according to qualification
Miller also stressed the need to ensure that the jobs available for international students are in accordance with their qualifications. At the same time, he called for careful consideration of the allocation of post graduate work permits due to labor shortages in some provinces. Miller said that the logic of uncapped or uncontrolled draw from abroad no longer holds.
