A lot of prospective International
Students who are planning to study in Canada are worried about the proposed
changes in the Study Permit in Canada from Jan 2014, but the truth is that
there are more positive changes than negative in favor of the students. There
is absolutely nothing to worry about for genuine students who are attending
regular classes in Public & reputed Private educational institutions in
Canada. Below are the proposed changes which will further improve the quality
of International Student Program once it is implemented in Jan 2014:
- Attendance: All International Students
will be required to register & regularly attend the educational
institution in Canada for which their Study Visa has been granted,
failing to which will make their status in Canada as illegal.
- Handpicked Institutions: Not all Canadian educational
institutions will be able to enroll international students after Jan
2014, only those institutions approved by Canadian Government will be
able to receive Study Permit holders. This will filter out the some of
the private institutions which are bogus & unethical which will
further safe guard the international interest & it will be assured
that they dont fall prey to these fraud institutions.
- Reporting to CIC: All designated Canadian
Universities & Colleges will be required to provide the regularity
reports of international students to Canadian Government on regular
basis.
- Post Study Work Permit (PSWP)
Provision: Only those foreign students
graduating for the approved Canadian Universities & Colleges will be
eligible for Post Study Work Permit.
- PSWP Eligibility: PSWP will only be offered to
Full-time students, who had regularly attended a course of minimum EIGHT
months which will lead to Certificate, Diploma or Degree. Those Students
who are attending short term study programs which are less than 8 months
OR language programs like English & French, preparatory programs
& general interest courses will not be able to apply for PSWP.
- Work Off-campus
without Permit: All regular foreign students
attending a course of minimum EIGHT months at any approved Canadian
educational institutions & holding valid study visa/permit will not
be required to apply for separate Off-Campus Work Permit, they will be
allowed to work 20 Hours per week on their Student Visa itself, which
means there will be NO waiting period of SIX months for newly landed
international students in Canada, they can work On-Campus/Off-Campus
immediately after registering with their designated University or
College.

There have been some rumors about
other changes in the requirement of Work Permit as mentioned below but please
be aware that there are NO such official announcements from Canadian
Government & international students need not worry about these rumors:
- Need to get a Job within FOUR
months after graduation otherwise have to leave Canada: There is NO such
requirement so far (not even proposed), you will be required to apply for Post Study Work
Permit (PSWP) within 90 days of graduation to maintain your legal status
in Canada once your studies are over in Canada but you may apply for
PSWP even if you do not have any job offer from any Canadian employer
since PSWP is an Open Work Permit which does not restrict you to any
particular employer or job.
- Job needs to be relevant to
the studies: Another rumor is that your
proposed job needs to be relevant to your studies completed in Canada,
this is also not true as PSWP is an Open Work Permit which does not
restrict its holder to any particular job, industry or employer, you
will be free to work at any designation, in any industry, at any
location within Canada. Though, to be eligible for Canadian Permanent
Residenceship under Canadian
Experience Class (CEC)
as an international student you need a Canadian Skilled Work Experience
from a Managerial jobs, Professional jobs, Technical jobs OR skilled
trades (NOC skill type 0,
A, B) but it is not a requirement
for Post Study Work Permit (PSWP)
