Canada has closed the study permit pathway for international students to get permanent residency under its latest immigration policies.
This new regulation mandates that international students return to their home countries upon the expiration of their study visas in Canada.
Canada is also terminating the Student Direct Stream (SDS) program and halting asylum claims tied to such immigration pathways.
Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, confirmed this development during an interview on Tuesday, where he discussed the nation’s immigration policies and the challenges faced by international students.

The announcement follows recent protests by international students across the country who demanded a streamlined process to transition from study permits to permanent residency or an extension of their stay.
Responding to these demands, Miller said, “When people come here and decide they want to be students, there are no guarantees to become permanent residents.”
He emphasized the distinction between study permits and resident permits, stating that while students have a right to protest, the priority of Canada’s immigration policies is to maintain balance and order in the system.
