Web Desk<\/strong> — Canadian Authorities are considering the option to reduce the number of student visas in order to control the rising cost of housing in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing Minister Sean Fraser has confirmed the development saying the Canadian government is under pressure due to the rising cost of housing and an option to reduce the number of Canadia Student Visa is under consideration. It is notable that the number of foreign students in Canada has increased in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada, due to a relatively straightforward process of obtaining a work permit, has become a favored choice among international students. In 2022, there were more than 800,000 foreign students with active visas, up from 275,000 in 2012, according to statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser said the increasing number of students was putting immense pressure on some housing markets. Answering a question, the minister said that capping the number of foreign students was one of the options. However, he said that any decision in this regard is yet to be finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaborating on the problem, Fraser said that Canada’s temporary immigration programs were never designed to see such explosive growth in such a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure is rising on the Justin Trudeau government as critics say the government is not doing enough to tackle the housing issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada is a popular place for aspiring immigrants. A country of around 39.5 million population, Canada plans to take in a record 500,000 new permanent residents in 2025. As a result of pro-immigration policies, the country has seen record-breaking population growth last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the official statistics, Canada’s population grew by over a million in 2022, the first time since 1957 due to multiple reasons with immigration being the major one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
