Canada Aims To End Use Of International Student Program As Backdoor Entry
Using data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), journalists with the broadcaster determined 12,915 of those who filed for refugee status in Canada in the first eight months of this year already had study permits or study permit extensions.
That’s a 752 per cent increase in the number of asylum claimants who had study permits or study permit extensions during the first eight months of this year compared to the Globe & Mail’s reported 1,515 who had such permits and permit extensions who applied for refugee status in the entirety or 2018.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller is reportedly worried that many foreign nationals are using the international student program as a “backdoor entry into Canada.”
