Foreign students in Canada face a tough future. American commentator and TV actor Ronald Butler Jr. said student visas are down by 97%. "97%, you just might as well say closed," Butler tweeted on X. He added that all international students who arrived in 2023 and 2024 "by the end of 27, they’ve got to be gone." Official data shows Canada's international student numbers have dropped sharply. This decline could make life harder for current students. They might be advised to leave Canada before basic living costs rise too much. Butler's warning casts doubt on Canada's once-booming international education sector.
