In an official announcement, Canada's immigration minister, Marc Miller, stated that the country hopes to grant 235,600 new study permits by the year 2024.
Additionally, the cap of 392,667, which is based on a 60% approval rate, is set for new study permit applications (apart from those pursuing master's or doctoral degrees and those in primary and secondary education).
A comprehensive province-by-province provincial attestation letter and study permit approval allotment for 2024 were also provided by the minister (mentioned in the later portion of this article).
By 2024, Canada hopes to have granted 485,000 study permits in total. This comprises about 97,000 Canadian study permit extensions.
The immigration service estimates that 606,000 applications for study permits (including extensions and other variations) will be received overall in 2024.
