Ontario (ON) received the largest allocation of student visas, with 235,000. It is Canada’s most populous province and has 530 Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) according to IRCC’s official list. However, the province recently revealed that 96 per cent of its allocated study permits will go to public universities and colleges. This means that few private institutions in the province are able to accept international students.

Other provinces also received significant portions of block grants. After adjusting for population and approved study permits, the province of Quebec (QC) allocated 117,917 student visas. British Columbia (BC) previously announced the allocation of 83,000 student visas in March, split almost equally between public and private institutions. Alberta (AB), which has a population of 11.67% of Canada’s population, has its allocation capped at 10%, resulting in an overall study permit allocation of 40,894. Nova Scotia earlier reported allocating 12,900 student visas. However, new data from IRCC shows the province has received a top-up of 7,472 licenses, with a total of 20,378 student visas allocated.
