Canada Caps New International Student Arrivals at 150,000 Annually for 2027-29
Canada's Immigration Levels Plan for 2027-2029 sets an annual cap of 150,000 new international student arrivals, slightly down from 155,000 in 2026 and significantly lower than the 305,900 target for 2025. The plan limits total new temporary resident arrivals, including students and temporary workers, to 370,000 annually, with students comprising about 40% and workers 60%. The targets exclude study permit extensions and post-graduation work permits, reflecting Canada's ongoing efforts to manage temporary resident numbers.
