Canada is exploring the idea of capping international student numbers to address a housing crisis exacerbated by surging demand. Immigration Minister Marc Miller highlighted the need for federal-provincial talks to manage the influx of students, calling the current system "disconcerting." While not specifying the reduction size, Miller acknowledged the potential move's impact on housing. India, a top origin country for study permits in 2022, could be affected. The government, facing criticism over immigration targets, is considering measures to ensure a balance between housing demand and Canada's workforce needs.
