Between July and October 2022, the Canadian government processed nearly 146,000 new study permit applications for Indian nationals. However, during the same period in 2023, the figures plummeted to fewer than 87,000, reflecting a substantial year-over-year decrease of 41%. This translates to almost 60,000 fewer student visas processed for Indian students from July to October 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
