Canada issued about 40 per cent fewer international study permits among kindergarten to Grade 12 , post-secondary and postgraduate students last year , overshooting its 35 -per-cent target.

Provinces where permit allocations were increased last year are also experiencing a decline in international enrolment, creating gaps in budgets that may lead to program cuts.

Colleges and Institutes Canada has been warning about the “devastating” impacts from the reforms.

The federal government has maintained that funding challenges related to the cap are not its problem.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller said in December that the government “didn’t tell any university or college to charge international students four or five times what we charge domestic students”.
