Canada considers foreign student cap over housing crisis

Canada is considering implementing a cap on international students as a way to address its housing affordability crisis, but experts believe that limiting student visas alone will not effectively solve the problem. The country's housing market has experienced significant price increases, particularly in large cities like Toronto and Vancouver, making homeownership and rental costs unaffordable for many. The housing shortage resulting from population growth and a lack of new constructions has contributed to the crisis. However, experts argue that blaming foreign ownership and population growth alone oversimplifies the issue and that a comprehensive approach addressing housing supply, affordability, and the real estate industry's influence is needed.
