加拿大宣布大幅削减国际留学生招生名额

加拿大移民部长马克·米勒表示，这些措施旨在保护学生免受“不良行为者”的侵害，并确保可持续移民。

加拿大表示，将在两年内限制进入该国求学的外国学生数量，以解决该国在住房和医疗方面所面临的压力。

这一限额将导致获批的学生许可（Study Permit）减少35%。

2022年，加拿大有超过80万名外国留学生，而十年前这一数字为21.4万。

加拿大官员表示，新措施也是为了确保该系统的“完善性”。

加拿大移民部长马克·米勒（Marc Miller）在周一宣布了这一限制决定，称加拿大今年的目标是批准约36万份本科学习许可。

各省和地区将根据人口数量和目前的学生入学人数分配一部分。然后各省将决定如何在其大学和学院中分配这些许可。

该限制仅适用于修读文凭（diploma）或本科课程的学生，并且不会影响申请延期学习许可的学生。

作为改革的一部分，从9月份开始，加拿大政府也将不再向以公私合作模式运作的大学毕业生发放工作许可，这种模式在安大略省最常见。

“一些私立院校利用留学生的优势，用资源不足的校园办学，缺乏对学生的支持并收取高昂的学费，却同时大幅增加留学生的就读人数，这是不可接受的。”米勒说道。

他说，新措施“并非针对国际学生个人”，而是为了确保未来的学生获得“他们所报名的高质量教育”。

特鲁多政府在宣布这些措施的同时，也面临着越来越大的压力，需要其解决日益难以负担的住房市场。

加拿大目前的平均房价为75万加元（55万美元），加拿大的房租在过去两年中上涨了22%。

一些经济学家将高企的房价与移民激增联系起来，指住房建设没有跟上加拿大空前的人口增长。

2022年，加拿大人口有史以来首次在一年内增加了100多万，这一增长主要是由新移民推动的。去年，加拿大人口达到了创纪录的4000万。

据加拿大抵押和住房公司（Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation）估计，到2030年，加拿大需要再增加350万套住房，才能恢复人们的负担能力。

虽然人口增长是问题的一部分，但专家们也指出导致房地产开工数量下降的其他压力，包括高利率使人们更难负担得起住房。

通货膨胀和疫情导致的供应链中断，也造成建材成本居高不下。

这一限制措施代表着加拿大政策的重大转向。该国历来依靠开放移民来填补工作岗位空缺和解决劳动力迅速老龄化的问题。

米勒此前曾暗示要减少加拿大接收国际学生的数量，这引起了一些加拿大大学的担忧。

针对周一的公告，代表全国高等教育机构的加拿大大学学会（Universities Canada）表示，该组织对这一限制不会影响研究生表示欢迎，但担心这会“给本已紧张的系统增加压力”。

该组织还表示，它担心一些措施会阻止学生前往加拿大，促使他们转向其他地方学习。

上周，位于多伦多郊外汉密尔顿的麦克马斯特大学（McMaster University）校长表示，设置限额将意味着该校的“损失”。

“如果我们失去国际学生，从学习环境的角度来看，我们就不会那么富裕了。”大卫·法拉尔（David Farrar）在接受加拿大广播公司（CBC）采访时说。

他补充说，由于大学在有限的政府资金和预算中挣扎，留学生支付的学费有助于抵消一些国内学生的成本。

他说，对国际学生设置限制，意味着大学将不得不削减招收国内学生的数量。

大概统计一下
2019年是40万
2020年是25万
2021年是45万
2022年是80万
2023年是55万
2024年是36万
也就是疫情的2020年是25万，比年均40万少收了15万
结果开了个口子，应该是出台了学签容易转永久居民的政策
2022年一下子80万，
现在又要收紧了

Canada announces significant reduction in international student enrollment quota

Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller said the measures were designed to protect students from “bad actors” and ensure sustainable immigration.

Canada says it will limit the number of foreign students entering the country for two years to address pressures on housing and health care.

This limit will result in a 35% reduction in approved student permits.

In 2022, there will be more than 800,000 foreign students in Canada, compared with 214,000 ten years ago.

Canadian officials said the new measures are also intended to ensure the “completeness” of the system.

Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced the restrictions on Monday, saying Canada aimed to approve about 360,000 undergraduate study permits this year.

Provinces and territories will allocate a share based on population and current student enrollment. Provinces will then decide how to distribute these licenses among their universities and colleges.

This restriction only applies to students studying diploma or undergraduate courses and will not affect students applying for an extended study permit.

As part of the reforms, starting in September, the Canadian government will also no longer issue work permits to university graduates operating under the public-private partnership model, which is most common in Ontario.

“Some private institutions take advantage of international students, run schools on campuses with insufficient resources, lack support for students and charge high tuition fees, while at the same time significantly increasing the number of international students. This is unacceptable,” Miller said.

He said the new measures “are not targeted at individual international students” but are intended to ensure prospective students receive “the high-quality education they signed up for”.

The Trudeau government announced the measures as it comes under increasing pressure to address an increasingly unaffordable housing market.

The average house price in Canada is currently C$750,000 (US$550,000), and rents in Canada have increased by 22% in the past two years.

Some economists have linked high housing prices to a surge in immigration, saying housing construction has not kept pace with Canada’s unprecedented population growth.

In 2022, Canada’s population increased by more than 1 million in a year for the first time in history, with this growth driven primarily by new immigrants. Last year, Canada’s population reached a record high of 40 million.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation estimates that Canada will need an additional 3.5 million housing units by 2030 to restore affordability.

While population growth is part of the problem, experts also point to other pressures that are driving housing starts down, including high interest rates that make it harder for people to afford housing.

Inflation and supply chain disruptions caused by the epidemic have also caused the cost of building materials to remain high.

The restrictions represent a major shift in Canadian policy. The country has historically relied on open immigration to fill job openings and address a rapidly aging workforce.

Miller has previously hinted at reducing the number of international students Canada accepts, causing concern among some Canadian universities.

In response to Monday’s announcement, Universities Canada, which represents post-secondary institutions across the country, said it welcomed the restriction, which would not affect graduate students, but was concerned it would “add pressure to an already strained system.”

The group also said it was concerned some measures would deter students from traveling to Canada, prompting them to study elsewhere.

Last week, the president of McMaster University in Hamilton, outside Toronto, said setting limits would mean a “loss” for the school.

“If we lose international students, we won’t be as well off from a learning environment perspective,” David Farrar said in an interview with CBC.

He added that as universities struggle with limited government funding and budgets, tuition fees paid by international students help offset some of the costs for domestic students.

He said placing restrictions on international students would mean universities would have to cut back on the number of domestic students they enroll.

Just make some statistics
400,000 in 2019
250,000 in 2020
450,000 in 2021
800,000 in 2022
550,000 in 2023
360,000 in 2024
That is to say, the income in 2020 during the epidemic is 250,000, which is 150,000 less than the annual average of 400,000.
As a result, an opening was opened. It should be the introduction of a policy that makes it easier to convert a student visa to a permanent resident.
800,000 in 2022,
Now it’s tightening again
