Two organizations representing 234 post-secondary institutions have written a letter expressing “significant concern” about the federal government’s decision to cap the number of student permits for the next two years.
The letter, addressed to Immigration Minister Marc Miller, was written by Colleges and Institutes Canada and Universities Canada.
The organizations say the cap “has the potential to bring about widespread and long-lasting consequences for both Canadian and international students.”
In its announcement last week, the federal government said it will approve approximately 360,000 undergraduate study permits for 2024 — a 35 per cent reduction from 2023.
