NEED HELP - Regarding New Regulations for International Students

[armbd]

Hey all,

I have a query regarding the New Regulations for International Students.

Current regulation
Applicants must show that they intend to pursue studies in Canada when applying for a study permit.

New regulation (as of June 1, 2014)
Applicants must enroll in and continue to pursue studies in Canada. Failure to do so could lead to removal from Canada.

Now what is the difference between these two rules??? I am not actually clear. Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks in Advance ;-)

I believe it means that once you obtain your study permit for the purpose of studying, then you must commit to that condition of stay or else you will be removed from Canada. You must stay enrolled and attend your studies for the duration of your study permit. Failure to do so could lead to removal from Canada.

@ mlcrae - Yes, I was also assuming something like that. Earlier, people used to go with Study Permit and then quit study and start working :-(.

BTW, Thanks
