Overview of Proposed Changes to Canada’s International Student Program January 2013

This is taken from the above said web site.
<<<<<Regulatory Amendment to Require Study after Arrival in Canada
Currently, foreign nationals destined to Canada for the purpose of study must only demonstrate
intent to study. Under the current Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR),
there is no requirement for students to be registered at an institution to attend classes after arrival
in Canada. Students who have not registered, or attended classes for extended periods of time,
but who still hold valid Study Permits, cannot currently be reported under the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) for misrepresentation, and can remain in Canada legally until the
expiration of their Study Permit.
To ensure that foreign nationals entering Canada for the purpose of study are genuine students,
CIC will introduce new Study Permit conditions in the IRPR which will require all Study Permit
holders to be enrolled and actively pursuing a course or program of study at a designated
educational institution after arrival in Canada, in order to maintain legal status. In support of
proposed regulations, CIC is proposing to establish an electronic system that would, with support
from provinces/territories, require educational institutions to report to CIC on the status of
international students’ compliance with Study Permit conditions.
CIC and CBSA officers would have the authority to take enforcement actions against Study
Permit holders who fail to meet conditions after arrival in Canada. Enforcement actions could
include desk investigations undertaken by CIC or field investigations undertaken by the CBSA
regarding student compliance with Study Permit conditions. CIC or CBSA would issue a
removal order in circumstances where students do not comply with their study permit conditions. >>>>>
in designated institutes it says "a private post-secondary learning institution in Canada that is recognized by the province and that is authorized by the province to confer degrees, but only in the case where the foreign national in question is enrolled in a program of study that leads to a degree as authorized by the province" so where we as foreign students want to pursue a PG diploma or certificate (which is clearly not a degree) in a private college like humber, we wont be able to? Is that so? then whats the alternative?
I think no worries....it depends on how to interpret this....sumera.k said:
