Canada, the U.S., and Australia are all tightening their student visa rules — and Indian applicants are being hit the hardest. In August 2025 alone, Canada rejected 74% of Indian student visa applications. The U.S. has seen its highest rejection rates in a decade, and Australia has slashed Indian visa approvals by nearly half. From social media screenings to fraud crackdowns, immigration policies are changing fast. In this report, we unpack what’s behind this global shift — and what it means for the future of Indian students abroad.
