00:29Finally, we examine the economic and policy pressures shaping Canada's immigration future, giving you a clear picture of what lies ahead.
00:36Watch till the end to get the full context and understand how these developments could impact your plans for moving to or staying in Canada.
00:55Let's begin with the headline update.
00:58Canada rejected 50% of temporary resident applications in 2024.
01:05A chilling wave has hit Canada immigration news in 2024, as half of all Canada temporary residents faced rejection.
01:15In a dramatic policy shift, Canada is tightening the gates, reshaping the future of students, workers and tourists alike.
01:24But beneath the numbers lies a complex story of policy, pressure and global fallout.
01:31Next, we examine the sharp rise in Canada visa rejections and what's driving this trend.
01:51In 2024, Canada visa rejections soared to 50%, with 2.3 million applications denied, an all-time high.
02:03Visitor visas were hit hardest with a 54% rejection rate, while student visa refusals rose to 52%.
02:10The numbers reflect a government under pressure to manage housing shortages and rising living costs.
02:22Moving on to the declining international student applications, highlighting concerns among global applicants.

02:30Canada isn't alone.
02:33While student visa rejections climbed, total applications plummeted, down 46% to 469,000 in 2024.
02:43Other top study destinations like Australia, the UK and the US also saw sharp declines.
02:50Policy crackdowns are proving costly for institutions and economies relying on international tuition and skilled graduates.
02:58Then, we take a look at the surge in visitor record applications and its underlying causes.
03:06As many Canada temporary residents sought to remain, visitor record applications nearly doubled from 2019.
03:16With just 5% refusals, this route is a temporary shield, but it doesn't allow work or study.
03:23The question remains, how long can migrants stay in limbo?
03:27Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:34The data paints a tense picture.
03:37Rising Canada visa rejections, policy uncertainty and shrinking student flows.
03:42Canada's immigration system is evolving under pressure.
03:46But, the future for temporary residents grows murkier.
