Show Notes
Canadas immigration department scrutinized a mere fraction of potential international student program violations, with only 2,000 cases investigated out of 153,000 flagged by schools. The departments limited resources resulted in minimal action, often just requesting more information from students. The international student cap was significantly reduced, leading to a 67% drop in approvals and a surge in extensions. Despite permit expiration, 93% of students remained in Canada, with only 16,000 of the 39,500 who shouldnt have left actually departed. The immigration minister welcomed the findings and plans to strengthen fraud and non-compliance checks.
