Study Permits: Enhanced Flexibility for Students
One of the significant changes to study permits is the increased flexibility regarding online learning. In response to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian government has extended its temporary policy allowing international students to complete up to 50% of their studies online while still being eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This update is especially beneficial for students who may still be facing travel restrictions or prefer to start their studies remotely.
Additionally, Canada has introduced faster processing times for study permit applications, especially for students from key source countries. This initiative is aimed at helping students begin their studies on time without unnecessary delays.
