加拿大最近宣布对获准在该国学习的外国学生人数实行两年限制。 此举部分是为了缓解日益严重的住房短缺问题。

Reuters news agency recently reported on some of the details of the plan:

路透社最近报道了该计划的一些细节：

Marc Miller is Canada’s immigration minister. Miller said the government led by the Liberal Party of Canada will introduce a temporary, two-year limit on student visas. That will result in about 364,000 student visas in 2024. The government said that is a cut of 35 percent from the year before.

马克·米勒是加拿大移民部长。 米勒表示，加拿大自由党领导的政府将对学生签证实行临时的两年限制。 这将导致 2024 年大约有 364,000 个学生签证。政府表示，这比前一年减少了 35%。

The new proposals will also set limits on postgraduate work permits issued to foreign students. The new limits will likely cause many postgraduate students to return to their home countries.

新提案还将对向外国学生发放的研究生工作许可证设定限制。 新的限制可能会导致许多研究生返回祖国。

The permits were formerly seen as an easy path to securing permanent residency. People in master’s or post-doctoral programs will be eligible for a three-year work permit.

这些许可证以前被视为获得永久居留权的便捷途径。 硕士或博士后课程的人员将有资格获得三年期的工作许可证。

However, people who are married to foreign students in undergraduate and lower-level college programs will no longer be able to receive work permits. The acceptance of new study permit requests in 2025 will be reconsidered at the end of the current year, Miller said.

然而，与本科和较低级别大学课程的外国学生结婚的人将不再能够获得工作许可证。 米勒表示，今年年底将重新考虑是否接受 2025 年新的学习许可申请。
