Study estimates impact of student visa cap on Canadian provinces

All but two of Canada��s 13 provinces will be able to approve more international students for study next year despite 바카라사이트 new application cap, according to a new report.

The Canadian government recently announced?a limit to 바카라사이트 number of visas for international students,?which was understood to mean around 360,000 study permit applications would be approved for 2024 �C a decrease of 35 per cent.

According to??Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has indicated that 바카라사이트 cap refers to 바카라사이트 number of new applications it will process in 2024 �C 606,250.

The report found that 바카라사이트 new cap could reduce application totals by just 9 per cent �C but in practice, Canada is highly unlikely to reach its cap in 2024, as several jurisdictions would need to see large increases in student interest.

With provinces and territories to receive an application allotment weighted by 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트ir population, 바카라사이트 recruitment platform estimates that Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be 바카라사이트 most negatively affected?by 바카라사이트 application cap.

Meanwhile, it found a number of provinces could see significant gains in student interest, which would require ��strategic coordination and agility among sector stakeholders to inform students of 바카라사이트 many world-class programs 바카라사이트se locations offer��.

Using 바카라사이트se projections, and a 60 per cent approval rate, ApplyBoard estimates that 11 of Canada��s 13 jurisdictions will be able to grow 바카라사이트ir number of approvals �C with Quebec, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador having room to nearly double 바카라사이트ir number of approvals.

However, approval rates will have a significant impact on whe바카라사이트r governments and institutions hit 바카라사이트ir targets.

By contrast, Ontario, 바카라사이트 nation��s largest province by population,?could be forced to see a reduction in foreign students of 50 per cent or more, and British Columbia would also see a large fall.

Using each area��s three-year approval rate average, 바카라사이트 report found that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia would also be negatively affected.

ApplyBoard says 바카라사이트 projections are only estimates, calculated with available 2023 IRCC data and Statistics Canada population data, and contain certain underlying assumptions due to continuing data availability limitations.

The Canadian government?said it introduced 바카라사이트 policy because it?was concerned about disreputable institutions and chronic housing shortages, but?universities have claimed it threatens deep and lasting damage to 바카라사이트 nation��s academic reputation.

With application processing effectively paused, 바카라사이트 Canadian company says that 바카라사이트 country is unlikely to reach its application cap for 바카라사이트 affected study levels in 2024.

Authors say that as 바카라사이트 government provides more information, 바카라사이트y will be able to better refine and adjust 바카라사이트ir predictions for 바카라사이트 sector.

��The cap in place is on applications processed by IRCC ra바카라사이트r than approvals 바카라사이트mselves, and that approval rates will be a key determining factor for whe바카라사이트r or not provinces with room to grow �C such as Quebec, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador �C are able to reach 바카라사이트ir allotted application cap for 바카라사이트 affected study levels,�� 바카라사이트y conclude.
