Canadian Housing Minister Sean Fraser floated the idea of capping how many students Canada lets in from abroad as a way to help tackle the country's inflated housing costs. He said it was "one of the options that we ought to consider". His remarks come as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces growing criticism for failing to solve the housing crisis. The reaction to Mr Fraser's remarks was swift, with the idea criticised by universities, as well as the province of Quebec, who says it would reject efforts to limit international students. Canada accepted a record number of international students in 2022 - more than 800,000, a 75% increase from five years ago.
