Don’t Miss These Crucial Updates if You’re Planning to Study in Canada

Abroad Education Aspirants Need to Know

Planning your education in Canada? The latest updates from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduce new requirements and opportunities that could impact your plans. If you're a student from Hyderabad or anywhere in India, these changes are crucial to understand. Let’s break them down!

1.Planning to Switch Schools in Canada? Reapply for Your Study Permit

New IRCC Rule :

If you’re thinking of transferring from one Canadian institution to another, you’ll now need to reapply for your study permit. This change is designed to ensure your status remains valid during the transfer process.

Why This Matters :

Students like Ravi from Warangal, who initially enrolled in a college in Ontario, often find better programs elsewhere in Canada. Under this new rule, if Ravi wants to transfer to a top university in British Columbia, he must submit a new study permit application. Failing to do so could jeopardize his legal status in Canada.

2. More Work Hours for Students: Up to 24 Hours Per Week Off-Campus

Increased Work Limit:

Starting soon, international students will be allowed to work up to 24 hours per week off-campus, up from the previous limit of 20 hours. This change is particularly beneficial for those managing both academic and financial responsibilities.

Why This Matters :

For students like Sruthi from Hyderabad, who’s balancing her studies in Toronto with a part-time job, this additional four hours per week can significantly ease financial pressures. Sruthi can now work more hours at her retail job, earning extra income without compromising her academic performance.

3. GIC Requirement Increased to $20,635 CAD: What You Need to Know

New Financial Requirement :

The Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) amount required for international students has increased to $20,635 CAD. This change is intended to ensure students have enough funds to cover their living expenses during their stay in Canada.

Why This Matters :

For someone like Swapna from Nizamabad, who’s planning to apply through the Student Direct Stream (SDS), this change means she needs to adjust her financial planning. While it may seem daunting, the increased GIC amount will help ensure that Swapna can comfortably cover her expenses while focusing on her studies.

4. PGWP Eligibility Changes: Private College Students Take Note

Update on PGWP :

International students enrolled in private colleges offering licensed programs will no longer be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This change could significantly affect your post-study work options in Canada.

Why This Matters :

Consider Arjun from Karimnagar, who’s studying at a private college in Vancouver. With the new rule, Arjun will not qualify for the PGWP upon graduation, limiting his ability to gain Canadian work experience. Arjun now needs to reconsider his options and might need to transfer to a public institution to maintain his career prospects in Canada.
