Abstract

The article discusses the impact of federal caps on foreign student permits on student housing demand in British Columbia, particularly at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). Following a significant decline in international student applications due to these caps, TRU is considering closing a dormitory that was previously in high demand. The Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) has reported a 40% reduction in international student numbers, which has eased rental market pressures but also highlighted a broader undersupply of student housing. Institutions are adapting to this changing landscape, with some exploring innovative housing solutions, while others face challenges in financing new projects. [Extracted from the article]
