Student visas are not a cheap way to get entry into Canada.

According to a recent report from the Government of Canada, international students contributed significantly to the country's economy, spending $37.3 billion on tuition, accommodation, and discretionary items in 2022. However, Canada is now reassessing the number of long-term visas granted to foreign students, with the aim of moderating immigration and population growth. Immigration Minister Marc Miller emphasized that study visas should not guarantee future residency or citizenship, and that the focus should be on attracting high-quality talent and providing a clearer understanding of studying in Canada. The report also highlights the economic impact of international students, including their contribution to GDP, job creation, and tax revenue. [Extracted from the article]
