Indian students are shunning Canadian universities due to reduced international student quotas, housing shortages, and job scarcity. Applications from India have plunged by 40-45% this year, and students are opting for alternative destinations like the US and Australia. Universities, such as the University of Toronto, have witnessed a significant 40% decline in Indian applications, prompting outreach efforts to allay uncertainties. The Canadian government’s cap on international student intake and stricter visa rules have exacerbated the situation, leading thousands of students to reconsider their plans.
