The number of study permits issued in 2020 is falling
As of April 30, 2020, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada issued study permits to 66,990 foreign nationals. According to the data by IRCC, 47,460 study permits (70.8%) were issued for students admitted in the Post Secondary programs in Canadian colleges and universities. 11,930 foreign students received study permits (17.8%) to study in secondary or less than secondary schools. Another 7,580 study permit holders (11.3%) will study in other types of studies. Finally, in 40 cases, the education level of international students was not stated. The COVID-19 pandemic will definitely reduce the total number of international students in Canada this year, but the exact data will become available in a few months. In 2019, Canada issued 402,335 study permits.
