Is Canada closing student visa pathways?


Thank you for your question! As of now, Canada is not closing student visa pathways, but there have been some important updates and changes to the process in 2024 and 2025.

Recent Updates on Canada Student Visas



- Intake Cap: In early 2024, the Government of Canada introduced a temporary cap on new international study permits for undergraduate programs (diploma and bachelor's degrees) for two years. This means there is a limited number of new study permits issued, and provinces/territories have allocated quotas to institutions accordingly.
- Postgraduate Programs: Most master's, PhD, and certain postgraduate programs are not affected by the cap.
- Letter of Attestation: Students applying for undergraduate programs now need a provincial “attestation letter” from the province or territory where their institution is located.
- No Closure: Study permits are still being issued. The process may take a bit longer, and students must ensure they meet the new requirements.
