多伦多：据加拿大移民部透露，加拿大正计划调整国际学生引进政策，今后将更多地吸引研究生级别的留学生，而非以往主要依赖本科生甚至仅攻读证书课程的学生。加拿大移民、难民及公民部在周四发布的通告中表示，当前的工作重点是“推动留学层次向大学教育阶段转移”。数据显示，尽管整体国际学生录取人数有所减少，但赴加攻读大学课程的学生比例却在上升。
Toronto: Canada is looking to transition to getting more graduate international students into the country instead of the previous reliance on undergraduates and even those enrolling for certificate courses, according to its immigration department. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC ) said, in a post on Thursday, that it is focused on a “shift towards university-level study”.As overall international student admissions decrease, the proportion of students arriving to study at universities is increasing, it said, adding that university students accounted for 40% of new study permit holders in 2025, up from 30% in 2024.
2025年，大学在读生占新获留学许可者总数的40%，这一比例较2024年的30%有明显提升。该部门称，由于“对研究生群体给予了更多重视”，今年1月至7月期间，获得留学许可的硕士及博士人数占比达到21%，而2025年同期这一比例仅为12%。此外，移民部还表示正在为研究生们提供“更为简便的申请途径”。
The “greater focus on graduate students”, it claimed, had resulted in master’s and doctoral students accounting for 21% of new study permits issued between January and July this year, as against 12% in 2025. It said it was providing “simpler pathways” for graduate students.
“为吸引更多硕士及博士层次的学生，我们将新入学的博士生签证处理时间缩短至两周，并免除了硕士和博士生提交省级或地区级证明信的要求，”文件中写道。“随着我们推出更多针对研究生的措施，预计这一趋势还将持续，从而继续吸引更多优秀的硕士及博士人才。”
“To attract more students at the master’s and PhD levels, we introduced 2-week processing for new PhD students and exempted master’s and doctoral students from the provincial or territorial attestation letter requirement,” it noted.“We expect this trend to continue as we introduce new measures directed at graduate students and continue to attract talented students at the master’s and PhD levels,” it said.
加拿大移民、难民及公民部强调，未来的发展方向十分明确：加拿大将“持续接纳数量合理且具备才能的国际学生”进入本国高校，同时“专门创造机会以留住那些有助于推动经济发展、提升公共服务水平的优秀毕业生”。该部门还表示，正致力于打造“更具针对性且可持续发展的国际学生计划”；近年来，已采取多项措施控制在加国际学生总数，“将计划重心转向吸引最优秀的学生群体”。
今年1月至7月期间，共有28,200名新的国际学生抵达加拿大，这一数字较2025年同期减少了80%。
Stating that the “path forward is clear”, IRCC stressed that Canada will “continue to welcome a sustainable number of talented international students” to its institutions while “creating targeted opportunities to retain the skilled graduates who can help grow our economy and strengthen our public services”.IRCC stated it was looking at “a more targeted and sustainable International Student Program” and in recent years, had taken action to reduce the overall number of international students in Canada “while refocusing the program on attracting the very best students”.Overall, there were 28,200 new international student arrivals in Canada between January and July this year, which was 80% fewer than for the same period in 2025.
