In August 2024, IRCC introduced new regulations regarding the number of study permits issued for 2025, implementing a 10% reduction in the cap. This policy is part of Canada's broader immigration management plan, aimed at balancing immigration levels with the country’s infrastructure capacities, including housing and healthcare.
At Radsam Education Agency, we help students understand the implications of this cap and provide strategic advice to help you secure your study permit despite increased competition.
What Is the 2025 Study Permit Cap?
The new cap for 2025 is set at 437,000 study permits, down from the 2024 limit of 485,000(
ICEF Monitor)
This reduction aims to control the influx of international students and manage the strain on resources. Each province and territory will have its own allocation of study permits based on its population and infrastructure capacity.
How Does This Impact You as an International Student?
The reduction in study permits means increased competition, particularly for students seeking admission to high-demand programs or popular Canadian provinces. Key considerations include:
Provincial Allocations: Provinces with smaller allocations may become more selective, making it essential to apply early and submit complete, error-free applications.
Graduate Programs: Unlike previous years, Master’s and PhD students are now included in the study permit cap, which affects the number of available permits for all academic levels.
