Yes, absolutely.
In recognition of some of the issues that were present in the past program, we introduced several measures.
The first was to address unsustainable volumes, and that's the intake cap that everyone's familiar with. That was introduced in January 2024. Subsequently, as part of levels planning, for the first time ever we introduced new arrival targets for temporary resident admission to coincide or to complement the intake cap.
Second, to make sure that the international student program responded better to the economic needs of Canada, which, of course, will change, we aligned the postgraduate work permit eligibility to meet those longer-term structural labour market needs and introduced a minimum level of language proficiency, because we know that language proficiency is a strong factor for success in Canada.
We also strengthened integrity by raising the financial requirement. It had not been raised in a very long time. Therefore, we raised it in January from $10,000 and doubled it to over $20,000. We made a yearly commitment to update it according to Stats Canada data; therefore, it was just recently updated in September to $22,895.
Then, of course, the letter-of-verification system was also introduced at the end of 2023.
Finally, the regulatory measures that I spoke of that were brought in at the end of November 2024 were really to ensure that there is a way to deal with non-compliant educational institutions. They also instituted the 24-hour work limit.
