Dinesh

moved to Canada from India in 2018 as an international student and received a work permit upon graduating two years later .

More than two million newcomers are expected to leave Canada in the next two years as their permits expire.

Economists and immigration lawyers say it’s not realistic to expect such a large volume of international students and temporary foreign workers to leave in such a short time.

The federal government plans to reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada in the next two years .

The government expects Canada ’s overall population numbers to decrease in 2025 and 2026 after abnormally high increases in recent years .

Consultants and lawyers expect many temporary residents to extend their stay here by trying to change their status from student or worker to visitor or seek asylum.

Anya

, a 27-year-old who came to Canada from Russia as a student in 2018 , doesn't want to apply for asylum, but she might have to go that route if she doesn't meet immigration requirements before her work permit expires in July .

Anya , who works at an insurance company, still has half a year to decide what she wants to do to extend her stay in Canada .
