In an effort to limit the number of international students coming to Canada, Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced a near doubling of the money student applicants will need to prove they have before acquiring a student visa.

“In welcoming international students, we have a responsibility to make sure that students are supported when they come to our country,” Mr. Miller said during a press conference on Dec. 7.
