Canada’s Economic Upswing Through International Students

Presently, Canada happens to be the third destination in the world in terms of international students. The international student community is almost as strong as 6,40,000, and they contribute up to USD 22 billion to the Canadian economy annually.

According to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada), the international student population increased by almost 13 percent in 2019 compared to 2018. As many as 404,000 international study permits were issued in 2019. In the last couple of decades, the international student population has increased almost six times. In the last decade alone, it has increased almost three times.

Admission Procedure Basic Requirements
The admission procedure to study in Canada comprises of the following steps:

• Selection of a Program.
• Paperwork
• Admission Requirements.
• Submission
• Waiting Period.
• Visa Application.
• Arrival.

The first step is to choose an appropriate program. In Canada, every program is taught in English. Degrees are available across a multitude of fields.

Among paperwork, the standard requirement is a motivation letter, recommendation letter, and portfolio of work experience (if available). Also, proof of completion of previous degrees is required. The best bet would be the official transcript of the previous degree. In case you are not a native speaker, an English proficiency test would be needed.

In Canada, most university applications are submitted online. Forms are readily available on the university websites for a fee.

Usually, the admission results are declared towards the end of spring. Private universities might ask for the first-trimester tuition fees, the official admission letter and admission confirmation for visa purposes, and other relevant information.

The visa process might take up to 60 days, and it involves several crucial documents. Therefore, the process must be initiated as soon as possible to avoid visa rejection. It must be noted that a visitor visawill be of no use in this case. Instead, a study permit would be more useful.

Once the visa is done, you can begin your adventure in Canada. Ensure that you have a fair idea about the expenses involved.

Best Destinations for Study
Ontario happens to be the best destination for international students in Canada. In 2019, this place was host to almost 307,000 international students, almost 48 percent of the incoming students. British Columbia is ranked second, followed by Quebec, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia
Job Opportunities
Those studying in Canada are eligible to apply for PGWP (Post Graduation Work Permit). It allows to cover the financial needs, but a Canadian work experience can further help apply for programs such as Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience, Provincial Nominee, Quebec Immigration, and so on. Students also have the opportunity to go for various part-time as well as full-time employment across the state.
Canadian Experience Class immigration (CEC)
The CEC is for those skilled workers having Canadian work experience and desire to become permanent residents. However, specific criteria need to be fulfilled first. The major is writing, reading, listening, speaking, and 12 months of experience. There is no specific education requirement for CEC. A good enough language test result along with the above criteria is more than enough.

The new two-stage approval process to facilitate international students

Earlier Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) permitted online courses from home countries for the fall 2020 semester and they will be eligible for the Post-graduate Work-permit, which is available for up to three years. During normal days, time spent studying in Canada is deducted from the length of the work permit.

Now to facilitate international students, an in-principle approval process has been introduced.

Canada has announced more flexibility in its immigration rules, to serve the needs of its international students.

Marco E L Mendicino, Canada’s immigration minister, said, “The pandemic has had a significant impact on international students and the Canadian institutions and communities that host them. This is why we have implemented a series of measures to support them. We value the contribution of young people seeking a high-quality education in Canada, and we’re making every effort to minimize how current challenges affect their plans and dreams for the future.”

This newly introduced norm is about giving priority processing of study-permits to those international students, who have submitted a complete application online, before Sept-15.

IRCC noted, as soon as international students receive an in-principal approval, they can count the time spent studying online abroad (from their home country), towards their PGWP.

The processing of study-permit on priority basis followed by an in-principal approval will give international students that assurance to enroll and begin their online-studies for the upcoming fall semester, even though they aren’t able to submit all required documents due to pandemic-related closures.

Adding to that, as soon as services begin to reopen, the applicants will be required to submit their documents and receive an approved study permit before being allowed to travel to Canada.

So far we, as an immigration expert see the recent US crisis a larger number of international students are opting to study in Canada. The PGWP not only offers work experience but provides some good points for their way to Permanent Residency (PR).

Make your dreams come true. 

Study in Canada: IRCC continues to facilitate online learning for international students

Opportunity to Study in Canada with numerous efforts from Canada Govt.

Earlier the Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship has made several temporary policy changes to support and reassure international students and learning institutions.

•  International students who had a valid study permit, or who were approved for a study permit on or before March 18, 2020, are exempt from travel restrictions.
•  Students in Canada who were forced to study online, reduce their studies to part-time, or take a break from their studies completely, as a result of restrictions on classroom learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are allowed to continue working on- or off-campus if their study permit allows it.
•  No one is going to lose their eligibility for PGWP if they were forced to complete more than 50% of their program online.
•  Until August 31, 2020, international students are permitted to work more than 20 hours per week off-campus during their academic sessions if they are employed in an essential service or function.
•  Students beginning a new study program in the 2020 spring, summer, or fall semesters can begin their classes online from abroad  without affecting their eligibility for a post-graduation work permit, provided they can complete at least 50% of their program in Canada.

According to IRCC International students make immense cultural and social contributions to Canada and generate more than $21 billion in economic activity.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented several challenges worldwide, Canada’s whole-of-government approach is aimed at protecting the health of Canadians while minimizing the economic and social impact of restrictions. With these changes, it is expected that international students will continue contributing to the health and vitality of Canada and the local communities where they study from coast to coast to coast.

“The pandemic has had a significant impact on international students and the Canadian institutions and communities that host them. This is why we have implemented a series of measures to support them. We value the contribution of young people seeking a high-quality education in Canada, and we’re making every effort to minimize how current challenges affect their plans and dreams for the future.”

– The Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino, P.C., M.P., Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship

As the fall season is fast approaching, the Minister has announced additional measures to support international students beginning a new program online this fall with a Canadian learning institution, if their institution is offering the program online, so that they can pursue their education while ensuring everyone’s safety.

The new measures include

providing priority study-permit processing for students who have submitted a complete application online, to ensure that permits are processed as quickly as possible
allowing students to count the time spent pursuing their studies online abroad toward their eligibility for a post-graduation work permit, if they have submitted a study permit application and if at least 50% of their program is completed in Canada
providing reassurances to international students who cannot submit all of the documentation needed to complete processing of their applications, and who choose to pursue programs through distance learning, by implementing a temporary 2-stage approval process

In 2019, Canada hosted over 650,000 international students at the post-secondary education level. More than 58,000 former international students have become Canadian permanent residents.

Online Courses: Study permit approval no longer a hurdle towards PGWP!

International students who already enrolled or those likely to apply for the new online courses, this is really good news for them.

So what is this about?

Earlier we know Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that due to this pandemic travel restriction will be there for some time but they do not want to halt the study process in Canada. So far that they allowed online courses to take place for a certain period. Now that got complicated when the post-graduate work permit arises! To solve the issue IRCC said online courses will not be penalized when applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit. But there was a condition where PGWP will be cunted only after the study permit gets approved.

Now to give International Student more facility IRCC declared that they don’t need to wait for the study permits to be approved their count towards PGWP going to start the day they start their online courses. But they have to apply for the study permit before Sept’ 15 and they must complete half of their course within Canada.

So far IRCC decided they won’t deduct the study time completed outside Canada from the length of the PGWP up to Dec’31, 2020.

Those who haven’t applied for the study permit! We suggest you should go for it as Canada will accept incomplete applications for study permits. The new 2-step process is there to facilitate International Students to start studying without having a full study-permit. However, it will be needed once every document submitted.

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) again to facilitate International students with the post-graduate work permit (PGWP)

Earlier we have seen numerous measures have been taken by IRCC. They allowed educational institutes to use online platforms just to continue their process. A post-graduate work permit is one of the key facilities that students from abroad looking forward to, considering that point they even assure colleges and universities that online classes won’t hamper the PGWP of these students.

Now regarding the online classes or the students who enrolled for the online classes for the Sept’2020 intake, IRCC introduced some new measures.

Three major changes which we’re about to tell you:

1. Students may now study online from abroad until April 30, 2021, with no time deducted from the length of a future post-graduate work permit, provided 50% of their program of study is eventually completed in Canada.
2. Students who have enrolled in a program that is between 8 and 12 months in length, with a start date from May to September 2020, will be able to complete their entire program online from abroad and still be eligible for a post-graduation work permit.
3. Students who have enrolled in a program with a start date from May to September 2020 and study online up to April 30, 2021, and who graduate from more than one eligible program of study, may be able to combine the length of their programs of study when they apply for a post-graduation work permit in the future, as long as 50% of their total studies are completed in Canada.

The Canadian Government provides emergency fund for students

Breaking News – The Canadian Government provides emergency fund for students in Canada

The Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced to issue a Candian Emergency Student Benefit (CESB) of 9 billion dollars to postsecondary students across Canada. This is a great movement from the government to help students who is financially struggle due to Covid-19. In addition, if a student is taking care of someone else or have a disability, that amount increases to $1,750 monthly. College and university students currently in school, planning to start in September 2020, or who graduated in December 2019 are eligible. As well, working students earning less than $1,000 per month can apply.

However, the benefit will require additional legislation and the Government will soon announce how to enroll in this program very soon.

Along with this announcement, the Canadian Government also proved to invest $291.6 million to extend scholarships, fellowships, and grants for three or four months to keep research projects and placements going, including postdoctoral fellowships. They will also launch a new Canada Student Service Grant of between $1,000 and $5,000 for students volunteering in the COVID-19 fight to go towards their fall tuition. Furthermore, Canada Student Grants will double all eligible full-time students up to $6,000 and up to $3,600 for part-time students in 2020-21. The Canada Student Grants for Students with Permanent Disabilities and Students with Dependents are also being doubled.

International Students are going to be allowed to work more that the current maximum of 20 hours per week while classes are in session, provided they are working in an essential service or function, such as health care, critical infrastructure, or the supply of food or other critical goods. They will also receive free healthcare if they are infected by Corona Virus.

However, the eligibility of International Students has not been announced yet. We will wait have to wait for more update from the Canadian Government. In case if international students cannot receive this fund, they are still eligible to enroll for CERB if they can meet all the conditions.
