Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada announced Friday it would go through with its promise to reduce the number of study permits by a further 10 per cent in 2025 .

B.C. post-secondary institutions say Ottawa ’s caps on study permits for international students is making it harder to keep campuses running smoothly and having a chilling effect on international applications.

Capilano University president Paul Dangerfield said he has no issue with the percentage of the federal allocation his institution has been handed by the province.

New immigration laws have made international students ineligible for a postgraduate work permit if they attend a private college.

Dale McCartney , an expert on international student policy, said colleges, both public and private, have been hit especially hard by the crackdown on international students.

“It has really impacted the college sector in a profound way,” said McCartney .
