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

    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.

  • Temporary visas and International Students are about get a good chance in Canada

    Temporary visas and International Students are about get a good chance in Canada

    “Come to Canada” message by Canada’s immigration minister Marco Mendicino that clearly clarifies Canada is ready for immigrants, temporary foreign workers and international students.

    In order to bring Canada’s economy in good track he said-

    “We have a plan in place that looks to leverage the best and the brightest from around the world. We’ve got pathways like the Express Entry program, and the Global Talent Stream, which will help to bring entrepreneurs, engineers, and innovators. We’ve also got pathways for manual laborers and skilled laborers.”

    Trump’s administration on Monday extended its ban on green cards issued outside the U.S. for the remainder of 2020, also freezing the issuance of H-1B, H-2B, J-1 and L-1 visas in the process.

    During this pandemic situation Canada continues to welcome candidates through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and PR.

    Caregivers will now have to meet the standard criteria for economic immigration before you are granted a work permit.

    Requirements:

    1. IETLS/CELPIP/TEF/TCF for Canada = CLB/NCLC 5
    2. Post-secondary diploma/certificate/advanced diploma of at least 1 year in Canada or ECA

    The processing time of this program is 12-18 months.

  • IRCC again to facilitate International Students with PGWP!

    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

    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.
