Last Updated On 14 March 2023, 11:02 AM EDT (Toronto Time)

Have you ever wondered what were study permit approval rates in the beginning of 2022? IRCC provided this data on the request of INC – Immigration News Canada.

The latest available data with IRCC on total number of study permit applications (excluding extensions) received was only available until February 28, 2022.

There were total of 79,970 study permit applications (excluding extensions) received by IRCC in 2022 until February 28.

Furthermore, it looks like study permit demand has increased significantly year-over-year.

However, lesser number of foreign nationals applied for study permit in 2020.

This could be because of pandemic. However, there were record number of applications in 2021.

We compiled the data for the countries where INC – Immigration News Canada has presence of at least 1,000 website visitors.
