Worldwide students improve networks and are a basic piece of Canada’s social and financial texture. Lately, the honesty of the worldwide students has been undermined. A few establishments have fundamentally expanded their admissions to drive incomes, and more students have been showing up in Canada without the legitimate backing they need to succeed. Fast expansions in the number of global students showing up in Canada additionally bring huge pressure on lodging, medical care, and different administrations. The government is moving forward with measures to maintain a stable number of international students in Canada to better protect them from criminals and promote sustainable population growth in Canada.

Canada will set an admission cap on global student permit applications to balance out new development for a time of two years. For 2024, the cap is supposed to bring about roughly 360,000 supported study permits, a decline of 35% from 2023. In the interest of fairness, weighted-by-population individual provincial and territorial caps have been established, resulting in much more significant reductions in provinces where the number of international students has experienced the most unsustainable growth. Study permit Renewals won’t be affected. The cap does not apply to those pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees or teaching elementary and secondary education. Current study permit holders won’t be impacted.

IRCC will allot a part of the cap to every region and domain, which will then, at that point, convey the portion among their assigned learning establishments. Every study permit application that is submitted to the IRCC on January 22, 2024, will also require an attestation letter from a province or territory in order to implement the cap. By March 31, 2024, provinces and territories should have a system in place for issuing attestation letters to students.

These impermanent measures will be set up for a considerable length of time, and the quantity of new study permit applications will be acknowledged in 2025 which will be re-evaluated toward the finish of this current year. During this period, the Public authority of Canada will keep on working with regions and domains, assigned learning organizations, and public education partners on fostering a manageable way ahead for global students, including settling an education institution structure, deciding on the sustainability of students and ensuring post-secondary institutions are able to provide adequate levels of student housing.

To all the more likely adjust the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, the changed qualifications include :

Beginning September 1, 2024, global students who start studying a program that is a part of a recent curriculum license arrangement, at this point will not be qualified for a post-graduation work permit upon graduation. Under the curriculum license arrangement, one will genuinely go to a  private educational institution or college that has been authorized to convey the educational program of a related public college. These projects have seen critical development in drawing in students as of late, however, they have less oversight than public universities or colleges and they go about as clause with respect to post-graduation work license arrangement.

A three-year work permit will soon be available to master’s degree graduates. Under current measures, the length of a post-graduation work license depends entirely on the length of an individual study program, preventing master’s graduates by restricting the time they need to acquire work experience or insight and possibly progress transition to permanent residence.

In the weeks ahead, open work permits may be accessible to companions of worldwide students in master’s and doctoral projects. The spouses of global students in different degrees of study, including undergrad and college programs, will presently not be qualified.

The recent change in Canadian PGWP aims to stabilize the overall number of students arriving and thus alleviate pressures on housing, health care, and other services in Canada while simultaneously ensuring genuine students receive the support and resources they need for an enriching study experience.

QUICK FACTS

• If they are enrolled in a curriculum licensing arrangement study program, international students will no longer be eligible for a post-graduation work permit upon graduation as of September 1.
• Alumni of graduate degree projects will before long be qualified to apply for a three-year work permit, rather than meeting all requirements for a work permit in view of the length of their individual study program.
• Spouses of global understudies in master’s and doctoral projects will keep on meeting all requirements for work permits. Life partners of worldwide students in undergrad and college programs, be that as it may, will as of now not be qualified for work permits.
