Germany, Japan or Korea? Indian students look beyond Canada

Canada’s decision to cap the number of international students this year and introduce stricter work visa rules will force students from India to opt for other countries. Counselling centers said even a year ago, half of their customers wanted admissions and immigration to Canada, but are now asking for other countries.

“The latest announcement is definitely going to have an impact," said Ajay Sharma, founder and president, Abhinav Immigration Services Pvt. Ltd. “There will be less demand for undergraduates, except those who want to pursue courses in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), healthcare and trade."
