International students (study permit holders) contributed $30.9B to Canada's GDP in 2022 (1.2% of total), generating $7.4B in taxes, per Global Affairs Canada. Caps since 2024 likely reduced this.

Temporary foreign workers (work permit holders) fill labor gaps, paying ~$1-2B in annual taxes (est. based on income data), but aggregate GDP impact is ~$10-15B yearly, mainly in agriculture/healthcare. Sources: StatCan, OECD. Per capita GDP has stagnated amid high immigration.
