The surge in foreign student visas is seen as disconcerting, prompting discussions with provinces to control the numbers. The number of foreign students in Canada has nearly tripled in the past decade. Justin Trudeau's government has faced criticism for welcoming more immigrants - both permanent and temporary - during an affordability crisis that has caused the cost of housing to spike.
