There's no new information here. These rules were introduced almost a year ago now. This isn't news - not sure why the Globe is only waking up now.

One of the Liberal Government promises during their campaign was to address this issue and fix this disaster that Harper did.

"We will give international students and temporary residents credit for time already spent in Canada.

We will make it easier for international students and other temporary residents to become Canadian citizens by restoring the residency time credit. We will also make changes to the Canadian Experience Class, to reduce the barriers to immigration imposed on international students."

Hopefully they'll address this sooner than later!
