The auditor generals report revealed a 67% drop in new study permits, with provinces seeing steeper declines than expected. The department also struggles to track students who overstay their permits, with 93% of 549,000 permits expiring in 2024 allowing students to stay. Immigration Minister Lena Diab pledges to improve program management.
