Government announced today that all levels of study will need PALs. Private schools like UCW and NEU will be in trouble.

  • The 2025–2026 study permit intake cap will include master’s and doctoral students who will now have to submit a provincial or territorial attestation letter. We will be reserving approximately 12% of allocation spaces for these students in recognition of the benefits they bring to the Canadian labour market.

SOWP will apparently be restricted to 16+ months of Master's.

Since when will this be applicable? From Jan 2025 or a later date?
