Flexibility In Work Permits And Study Permits In Canada Introduced, Good News For Immigrants





Many individuals all over the world have been planning and working on making their way to Canada as immigrants who will study there or work there. This is the country’s way of adjusting and adapting to the new normal that has been caused by the pandemic brought about by the novel coronavirus. These plans from Canada are focused on helping potential immigrants continue on with their plans of studying or working in the country despite the pandemic.

This is definitely good news because it means that the country is starting to reopen its borders and is also making sure that it brings in the needed immigrants. Canada has been reliant on immigrants to help with the workforce and with its population. It is also a good thing for people who would like to be immigrants in the country. This will be an opportunity for them to push on with their plans and make their way to the country.

Update for student immigrants

According to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC for short), the country of Canada has made sure that there are measures to help immigrants continue on with their plans. There are three main measures that are connected to the country’s Post-Graduation Work Permit, made available for those immigrant students who are taking their programs online from a school in Canada since there are still restrictions because of the pandemic.

With the changes, immigrant students can take their programs online in their home countries or wherever they may be until the end of April 2021. No time will be subtracted from their PGWP. However, the students should complete in Canada half of their studies. Also, immigrant students who have enrolled in a program that is only for 8 to 12 months and starts anytime from May to September of this year can complete their program outside Canada and still be able to use the PGWP. Aside from these, immigrant students in a program that started any time from May to September of this year and took the program online until the end of April 2021 and finished another eligible program in the country can add up the total length of the programs taken when applying for the PGWP. However, half of the studies should be done in Canada.

The PGWP

Many immigrant students in Canada really try their very best to be eligible for the PGWP. When an immigrant student is able to finish a program eligible for the PGWP from an educational institution in Canada that is also eligible for the program, he or she can take advantage of the PGWP for three years maximum. The length of the PGWP is dependent on how long an immigrant student’s program is. This also allows immigrant students to get actual work experience to apply whatever they have learned from studying in the country.
