Considering Limitations on International Students in Canada as a Solution to Housing and Unemployment Issues
Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller is considering imposing a cap on the number of international students in response to rising unemployment and a housing crisis. The proposed cap aims to alleviate the strain on housing caused by the influx of international students. Specific reductions are yet to be defined. Miller emphasizes the need for federal-level intervention before addressing individual academic institutions, discussing the importance of financial verification and establishing a sustainable system for newcomers. Criticized for its ambitious immigration targets, the federal government is actively considering this proposal in an effort to implement a more sustainable immigration system.
