Canada commits to attract and retain more international students

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has responded to the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration (CIMM) regarding the necessary actions to draw in, support, and safeguard international students who are already in Canada as well as those who are coming.
The CIMM is an internal governmental body that investigates immigration and citizenship issues in Canada. They have authority over IRCC and are responsible for monitoring federal multicultural society policy. The purpose of the CIMM research was to highlight the reality that, while Canada is a worldwide leader in recruiting foreign students, certain students may be placed in unfavorable and vulnerable positions owing to a variety of reasons that IRCC can address.
In terms of overseas students, the study focused on three primary goals:

(i)Increasing the number of foreign students studying in Canada; (ii)ensuring fairness in the International Student Program; and (iii)improving service and communication for international students during the study permit and immigration procedures.

The IRCC answer focused on measures that can and are already in place to help with these three goals, covering each separately with the goal of decreasing vulnerabilities and assisting foreign students through the visa application, study, and settlement process in Canada.

Canada has accepted this year little over 28,000 new permanent residents through Express Entry programs. By November 1 of this year, a new Immigration Levels Plan is anticipated to be released., Canada held its most recent all-program Express Entry draw. Since they started on July 6, it was the ninth all-program draw. IRCC invited 4750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 496. A pattern of lower CRS scores continued in today's draw. This marks the first time the CRS has fallen below 500 in an all-program draw since December 2020.
​
In response, the IRCC has pledged to examine the possibility of expanding the Student Direct Stream (SDS) to certain Asian, African, and French-speaking nations. Improving fairness in the foreign student program and enhancing international students' participation and engagement.
