Number of Indian students seeking Canadian visa drops due to restrictions

Another change being witnessed along the highways across the state is the missing hoardings and billboards attracting Canadian study visa applications.

The demography in Chandigarh and Punjab now has one thing in common- that very few applicants are seeking Canadian student visas.

Another change being witnessed along the highways across the state is the missing hoardings and billboards attracting Canadian study visa applications.

The immigration agents attribute this change to the Canadian government's restrictions on work permits.

"We are witnessing a dramatic change. The number of Canadian study visa applications has dropped to half. It is bound to drop further as now the work permits are also being denied to the postgraduate students", Chandigarh-based immigration expert Gurtej Sandhu told India Today.
