There is no doubt that this pandemic has bought numerous changes and very turbulent times for many communities across the globe. These changes have impacted how we humans fundamentally function; all levels of governments and many organizations have somewhat been affected by COVID-19. The one community that we would like to shed our attention to is the community of international students in Canada. So let’s take this opportunity of interaction to shed some light on changes made by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to make sure international students can transition to regular times with particular ease and convenience.
We at Ingress Immigration takes pride in being your source of information when it comes to updates about immigration in Canada. To understand the changes, we also need to understand that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has made several temporary policy changes intended to support international students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; this covers:
It’s important to know that students who have submitted a complete application will receive priority processing and be ready to travel to Canada soon after travel restrictions are modified. So, there is some ray of hope within these new changes.
Students enrolled in a program with a start date from May to September 2020 who 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.
Now that we know about the changes in place for the application process and eligibility criteria, let’s focus on students who are currently in Canada because we believe they too deserve our undeivded attention.
