Canada Student Permit Cap Dulls Appeal for Indian Students Amid Rising Costs

Canada Student Permit Cap Dulls Appeal for Indian Students Amid Rising Costs

Canada used to be a popular place for students from India to study.

But now, Canada has decided to let in fewer international students, putting a cap on how many study permits they give out.

This means many Indian students who wanted to go to Canada might not be able to.

Experts say that Canada is becoming less attractive because it's very expensive to live there, and some think the quality of education has gone down.

This has caused a big drop in the number of study permits given to Indian students.

Before the new rules, many thousands of students got permits, but now that number is much, much smaller.

Some people think this cap might be good because it could stop students from going to bad schools or programs that aren't helpful for their future.

However, many students and consultants are now looking at other countries like Finland or Ireland for their studies because Canada seems less welcoming and more expensive.
