The CBSA won’t release data on how many international students and temporary foreign workers leave Canada after their permits expire, despite confirming it collects entry and exit information.

Juno News was informed by a spokesperson that their data is used individually for immigration enforcement, confirming if individuals overstay. However, aggregated data on groups like international students and temporary workers is unavailable.
