Today, we announced that the Government of Canada will set an intake cap on international student permit applications to stabilize growth, for a period of two years. Details: https://t.co/Rz6VJ8HKyW

For 2024, the cap is expected to result in approximately 360,000 approved study permits, a decrease of 35% from 2023. Study permit renewals will not be impacted. Those pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees, and elementary and secondary education are not included in the cap. Current study permit holders will not be affected.

To implement the cap, as of January 22, 2024, every study permit application submitted to IRCC will also require an attestation letter from a province or territory. Provinces and territories are expected to establish a process for issuing attestation letters to students by no later than March 31, 2024.

In order to better align the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, we are changing the eligibility criteria:
-Starting September 1, 2024, international students who begin a study program that is part of a curriculum licensing arrangement will no longer be eligible for a postgraduation work permit upon graduation.
-Graduates of master’s and other short graduate-level programs will soon be eligible to apply for a 3-year work permit.

In the weeks ahead, open work permits will only be available to spouses of international students in master's and doctoral programs. The spouses of international students in other levels of study, including undergraduate and college programs, will no longer be eligible.

Today, we announced the implementation of National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 for immigration programs, including those under the Express Entry system. This allows Canada to welcome newcomers who bring the skills our economy needs to help address labour shortages.

International students in Canada who have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will now be allowed to work over 20 hours per week off-campus while class is in session. #internationalstudents #cic #ircc

Changes to #ExpressEntry will make it easier for physicians to access permanent residence in Canada and help fill crucial vacancies in our health care sector. Learn more: https://t.co/Sk55oNEyLK

And we’re back! 

Kicked things off this session by presenting the ways our government is looking to expand pathways to permanent residency for temporary foreign workers & intl students. A special thanks to my colleague @randeepssarai for bringing forth this important motion.

I talked with IRCC agent about the letter said some of us will get the interim letter not all. @SeanFraserMP means this policy is not us. you are sending the letter to the people who still have PGWP. Not to them who’re sitting home don’t have job,medical insurance #PGWPextension

[Magnitude Immigration @Magnitudecanada]

The #PGWPextension policy doesn’t include people who benefited from previous public policy and received 18 months extension.

IRCC: There is no need to meet with an immigration lawyer or consultant.

Also IRCC: If you e-mail us any questions we will remove you from our list of applicants who can get a new work permit in round 1.

FYI @CitImmCanada says Do not email IRCC to ask questions. If you email us for any reason, you’ll be removed from our list of applicants who are eligible to be mailed a new work permit in round 1. #cndimm #PGWP #PGWPextension https://t.co/LqqGQAGvOp

Hoping that these instructions will actually be released “shortly” #ircc

[Wei William (Will) Tao|陶维 @TheWillTruth]

Confirmed by IRCC in a panel I'm on: PGWP extension still being fine-tuned. There'll be instructions online shortly + on portal.

Seems like a lot of back-end tech work likely. They'll likely need to build automations to deal with the volume of likely applicants.

ICYMI: Enhancements to the super visa came into effect yesterday, July 4, 2022.

Our government is committed to reuniting loved ones. These key changes will allow for Canadian families to reconnect and stay in Canada longer.
