Canada varsities to limit admissions
Khaleej Times
|March 12, 2025
Admissions to top Canadian universities are expected to become significantly more competitive in 2025 due to the government's decision to reduce the overall study permit cap by 10 per cent.
This announcement gained further attention when Canada's incoming Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasised plans to limit immigration until it returns to sustainable, pre-pandemic levels.
Many students remain hopeful about working and applying for permanent residency after completing their university studies. This decision has sparked both concerns and renewed optimism among the UAE student community and education consultants about future opportunities.
Rema Menon Vellat, director, Counselling Point Training and Development, said: “There are already caps in place for Canadian Study Permits and the universities are restricted in the number of Provincial Attestation Letters (PAL) they issue. This has resulted in a dip in student numbers.
