In 2023, Canada welcomed over 62,000 international students as permanent residents, with Indians leading despite a 4% decline in permits due to diplomatic tensions. The Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reported a significant increase of 9,670 from 2022. Most achieved residency through work experience post-graduation and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams. Concerns arise about housing affordability and potential caps on non-permanent residents, with Minister Marc Miller considering reforms. Express Entry remains a swift path, contributing to Canada's demographic growth with around 330,000 Indian immigrants and students by 2023.
