Canada's Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, discusses potential limits on international student admissions to address the housing affordability crisis. With a record-high of nearly one million students admitted in 2023, concerns rise over the strain on housing demand. Miller emphasizes the need for a balanced approach, acknowledging that reducing admissions alone won't solve the crisis. The proposal raises challenges for universities dependent on international tuition fees. Canada grapples with soaring demand for housing, prompting political pressure on Prime Minister Trudeau. The housing agency estimates a need for 3.5 million more units by 2030.
