Canada Reduces Foreign Student Immigration Cap

September 24, 2024

Attention retailers who employ foreign students: The federal government is cutting the number of foreign students allowed into Canada from 485,000 to 437,000 in 2025—a 10% drop. Additionally, work permits for spouses of students and temporary workers in management roles will also be restricted later this year. RCC is pushing back against these changes, emphasizing the need for fair immigration policies that ensure retailers have access to workers.
