Fall 2020 Marks Changes In Study Visas And Work Visas In Canada





Many individuals all around the world have been enticed at taking further studies or taking their college education in Canada. This is not surprising given just how wonderful the education system in the country is and how it is recognized around the world. This gives those individuals who choose to study in the country an edge over other people when they are looking for jobs in their respective countries or in any other country in the world.

Recent news has it that immigrant students who plan on studying in a university or college in Canada can enroll in online courses even if they are still in their home country starting this fall. And when they are able to finish the program that they have enrolled in, these immigrant students would still be allowed to apply and get a Post-Graduation Work Permit which they can use in the country. This would allow the immigrant students to get the best of Canadian education despite the havoc brought about by the coronavirus pandemic and they would also still be able to get work experience in Canada after finishing the program.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit

Major changes are coming for the rules for the Post-Graduation Work Permit in Canada. This is definitely good news for immigrant students who may have been planning on going to Canada to study there starting this fall. This work permit allows immigrant students to get work experience in the country after they have finished the program that they have chosen to take in one of the universities or colleges in the country.

To be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit, immigrant students should be able to complete a program in an accredited school or university in Canada. The program should at least be eight months long for the immigrant student to be eligible for this work permit. It is also important that the program that the immigrant student completes should lead them to get a degree, a certificate, or a diploma from the accredited educational institution. In the end, the length of the work permit would be dependent on the program that the student has completed in Canada.

The changes in Canada

With the changes in the rules, immigrant students can start working on their programs online. In normal circumstances, online courses are really not counted by Canada as a requirement to be able to apply for PGWP. However, with the coronavirus pandemic seemingly putting everything to a halt, this is the best thing that could be done for the students who wish to get the education that they want. Travel is definitely one of the hardest hit industries and so it means that immigrant students cannot easily travel to Canada to study. But the changes could allow them to continue studying online and then fly to Canada for their PGWP.
