Starting January 1, 2024, the cost-of-living financial requirement for study permit applicants will be raised to ensure that international students are better prepared for life in Canada. This threshold will be adjusted each year, similarly to other immigration programs. Learn more: https://t.co/7uom1rgmYI
For 2024, a single applicant will need to show they have $20,635 in addition to their first year of tuition and travel costs. This change will apply to new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024.
In addition, Minister Miller has provided an update on three temporary policies that were set to expire at the end of 2023, including the following:
· International students already in Canada, as well as applicants who have already submitted an application for a study permit as of December 7, 2023, will be able to work off-campus for more than 20 hours per week until April 30, 2024.
· The measure that has allowed international students to count time spent studying online towards the length of a future post-graduation work permit, as long as it constitutes less than 50% of the program of study, will continue to be in place for students who begin a study program before September 1, 2024.
· A temporary policy was introduced on three occasions to provide an additional 18-month work permit to post-graduation work permit holders as their initial work permit was expiring. Foreign nationals with a post-graduation work permit expiring up to December 31, 2023, remain eligible to apply. However, this temporary policy will not be extended further.

Nothing is more painful in this world than losing someone you love so dearly. I am so much broken, but I will pray for your departed soul in every moment of my life. One of the best leader.
May Waheguru Bless his Soul.

Thank you, Canada — for casting your vote, for putting your trust in the Liberal team, for choosing a brighter future. We're going to finish the fight against COVID. And we're going to move Canada forward. For everyone.
My heart goes out to the family and loved ones of Prabhjot Singh Katri who was killed in Truro, NS. This is an unacceptable act of hate.
Hate, online hate, violence and racism have no place in our country and we must continue our fight to eradicate it.
Shocked beyond words!! Gone too soon…. Condolences to his family, loved ones. - He was loved by millions. #SiddharthShukla you will be missed - rest in peace brother.
I am deeply saddened by the demise of Shri #MilkhaSingh.A legendary athlete and an inspiration to millions of Indians, the #FlyingSikh will be remembered for his immense contribution to our nation.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time of grief.
The pandemic has shone a light on newcomers who are working on the frontlines and helping in the fight against COVID-19. Creating a pathway to permanent residency for 90k essential workers and int’l grads, we will create jobs and accelerate 🇨🇦’s economic recovery. @JulieDzerowicz
