Canada Rejects 74% Indian Student Visas

Only one in four Indians got a study visa as Canada tightened checks

In August 2025, Canada denied about 74% of Indian student visa applications, a sharp rise from 32% two years earlier.

The surge in rejections follows stricter vetting and fraud checks introduced by Ottawa.

Indian student permits dropped steeply from 20,900 in 2023 to just 4,515 this year.
