Indian students in panic as Canada tightens study visa rules
Study abroad consultants across India are facing a surge in frantic calls. Students braving the end of the student direct stream programme in Canada and caps on the permits to international students — or already studying there — are desperate for clarity as the country's latest immigration regulations take effect. These students and their parents are also seeking help from the consultants to chart their way forward.
Sudden permit cancellations, heightened scrutiny of visa applications and stricter enforcement of departure rules have already thrown thousands of the estimated 423,000 Indians in Canada into a tizzy.
«We've had multiple clients lose their permits despite perfect academic records. The IRCC (the government department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) projects 7,000 more revocations this year — I think that's conservative,» said Nikhil Jain, founder of ForeignAdmits.
Fall 2025 applicants face the new C$20,635 GIC (guaranteed investment certificate) requirement — a massive financial hurdle for middle-class Indian families — and lending institutions have also become hesitant in funding students going to Canada, he said.
