Canada Announce Cap On International Student Visas

Canada has introduced a surprise cap on student visas in an apparent U-turn on previous policies to welcome international students.

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced this week that the Government of Canada will set an intake cap on international student permit applications - approximately 360,000 approved study permits, a decrease of 35% from 2023 - to “stabilize” new growth for a period of two years.

Study permit renewals will not be impacted and existing study permit holders will not be affected by the new cap.

The government said:

“In recent years, the integrity of the international student system has been threatened. Some institutions have significantly increased their intakes to drive revenues, and more students have been arriving in Canada without the proper supports they need to succeed.

“Rapid increases in the number of international students arriving in Canada also puts pressure on housing, health care and other services. As we work to better protect international students from bad actors and support sustainable population growth in Canada, the government is moving forward with measures to stabilize the number of international students in Canada.”

Individual provincial and territorial caps have been established, weighted by population, which will result in much more significant decreases in provinces where the international student population has seen the most unsustainable growth.

Master’s and doctoral degrees, and elementary and secondary education are not included in the cap.

IRCC will allocate a portion of the cap to each province and territory, who will then distribute the allocation among their designated learning institutions. To implement the cap, as of January 22, 2024, every study permit application submitted to IRCC will also require an attestation letter from a province or territory. Provinces and territories are expected to establish a process for issuing attestation letters to students by no later than March 31, 2024.

The new “temporary measures” are expected to run for two years, with the number of new study permit applications accepted in 2025 will be re-assessed at the end of this year.

In order to better align the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, the government also published the following changes to the eligibility criteria:

• Starting September 1, 2024, international students who begin a study program that is part of a curriculum licensing arrangement will no longer be eligible for a post­graduation work permit upon graduation. Under curriculum licensing agreements, students physically attend a private college that has been licensed to deliver the curriculum of an associated public college. These programs have seen significant growth in attracting international students in recent years, though they have less oversight than public colleges and they act as a loophole with regards to post-graduation work permit eligibility.
• Graduates of master’s degree programs will soon be eligible to apply for a 3-year work permit. Under current criteria, the length of a post­graduation work permit is based solely on the length of an individual’s study program, hindering master’s graduates by limiting the amount of time they have to gain work experience and potentially transition to permanent residence.

Open work permits will only be available to spouses of international students in master’s and doctoral programs. Spouses of international students in other levels of study, including undergraduate and college programs, will no longer be eligible.

The government said the important measures announced “complement” other recent reforms to the International Student Program.

New cost-of-living requirement for international students coming to study in Canada

In December, the Immigration, the IRCC doubled the cost-of-living requirement for international students from CAD 10,000 to CAD 20,635. Inflation and financial challenges faced by many international students were blamed for the sudden move, with the government claiming the change aims to ensure students are better prepared for the actual cost of living in Canada.

The backlash against international students should be seen in the context of a housing crisis, an upcoming election for the Trudeau government and an ongoing diplomatic row between Canada and India.

There is still a shortage of nurses and healthcare workers in Canada, and many other western countries such as Australia, UK and the US, and student schemes help to alleviate the recruitment issues.

The Worldwide Health Organisation, World Economic Forum (WEF) and the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) all report that there is a huge global shortage of nurses expected to reach 13 million by 2030, according to the WEF.

Reasons for the nursing staff shortage range from ‘burnout’ of western nurses to an aging population in countries like the US, UK, Japan and Canada.

According to the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), there is a current shortage of nurses in Canada estimated at more than 50,000 and this shortage is expected to increase to 139,700 by 2026.

The CNA also reports that the nursing workforce in Canada is aging, with nearly one-third of nurses aged 55 or older.

As these nurses retire, the demand for nursing services will continue to grow. In addition, the aging population in Canada will also increase the demand for healthcare services.

UK Immigration Figures Soar to 745,000 Forcing Government to Cut Working and Student Visa Numbers in the “Biggest Ever Cut in Net Migration”

UK Immigration Figures Soar to 745,000 Forcing Government to Cut Working and Student Visa Numbers in the “Biggest Ever Cut in Net Migration”

The British Home Secretary, James Cleverly has announced sweeping changes to the UK Immigration Rules in a bid to bring in the ‘biggest ever cut in net immigration’ which reached the ‘biggest ever’ 745,000 in 2022 – after 1.2 million came in to the country.

Working visas and student numbers will curbed, with new rules on minimum salaries and dependents to prevent what he described as ‘abuse’.

New immigration rules

Most migrants wanting to work in the UK will still have to apply for a visa through a points-based system (PBS).

Starting spring 2024, applicants will need to have a job offer with a revised higher salary in order to get a work visa.

The new minimum salary will be at least £38,700 - increased by nearly 50% from the current minimum £26,200.

Health and social care jobs will be exempt as there are still shortages of care workers I the UK.

However, overseas care workers will no longer be able to bring in family dependants.

The points system was introduced by the Labour government in 2008 – as part of a previous immigration overhaul - non-EU migrants. The system overhauled by the Conservatives after the Brexit vote.

The 2020 version of the PBS covers EU and non-EU migrants.

The UK has "shortage occupation list" to help employers fill certain job vacancies.

Shortage jobs have a lower salary requirement, so applicants to obtain the required number of points to get a working visa.

Shortage Occupation Jobs include:

·        jobs in health and education

·        care workers

·        graphic designers

·        construction workers

·        vets

Employers are allowed to pay foreign workers 80% of the job's usual "going rate" to fill vacancies, which will be abolished from next spring.

Basic level international students will be prevented from bringing their dependents to the UK after figures reached 153,000 last year.

The UK will become a tougher places for students ad workers with higher NHS fees and minimum salaries above the national average. Meanwhile, other countries, such as Australia and Canada are welcoming students and workers with open arms with an easier route to permanent residence (PR) and citizenship than the UK.
