International Students Cap Count in Canada
Cap Count is the numerical statutory limit for non-citizens of a country who have having H-2B visa or status in the economic year. The important decision in context to cap count for students in (485,000) 2024 and (437,000) 2025, is to control the inflow of international students in the country on seeing certain factors.
The Canadian government is also announcing modifications for the PGWP (Post Graduation Work Permit) and SOWP (Spousal Open Work Permit) to be done soon. These changes are done to coincide the decision with the current situational demand of the labour market in Canada.
