Canadian government further cuts permits for international students, blames ‘bad actors’

Ottawa: Canada is further reducing the number of study permits for international students and foreign workers, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government will crack down on “bad actors” if they “abuse the immigration system and take advantage of students”. Canada has already granted 35 per cent fewer permits this year and Trudeau promised to further reduce that by 10 per cent in 2025.
