Canada Calling: Amid housing crisis, Quebec rejects cap on international students; poll shows many young Canadians living from paycheck to paycheck

The number of international students at Canadian colleges, particularly from India, has been increasing significantly, leading to concerns about the housing crisis and calls for a cap on study permits; however, there are opposing views with Quebec asserting its autonomy in determining the number of international students it can accommodate, and a new report arguing that the housing crisis is a result of systemic failure rather than solely the fault of international students. Additionally, a recent poll reveals that nearly half of Canadians are living paycheck to paycheck, contributing to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
