No six month waiting for off campus Work permit from jan 2014 onwards...

[itstime]

I agree.. nothing to be glad about until it really comes into action.. It may be another extended proposal with extended deadline as well..
Wait for CIC to take some decision , that will only give us either a reason to cherish or something to be not so happy about

Good Luck

Exactly. And for anyone here to say "From Jan 1st you don't need to have a OCWP and can work from day one" would be giving false advice. Anyone who is not so apt at checking LEGITIMATE and OFFICIAL websites for the correct information as to study permit regulations (i.e. not checking www.cic.gc.ca) and take the advice of third party could end up in a legal snag and possibly forfeit their study permit with a deportation as a result.

That is exactly what i wanted to hear....... ;D

Some people will always make it look perfectly difficult for anything and everything. I remember such an instance where one user made POE sound like don't know what... But I haven't seen in this forum or heard if POE has been a challenge for anyone. In fact heard many experiences stating "warm welcome" at POE.

Anyway Guys this is something CIC said will implement from January 2014 and yes as far as surety of anything is concerned, you never know when the Ontario Master's program shuts down or any PNP program for that matter.

So don't go by negative comments. There is a good opportunity waiting for all students effective January 2014 so lets wait for it.

Cheers!

Very true!! It's time to stop being cynical! Good opportunity awaits everyone this January!

Friends,

No body is being negative, its all about being precise, some candidates may feel Yes! its the only chance we can make it (earnings from the very first day) and it may become a hindrance later on if this implementations doesnt work and those candidates may fall into catch 22 situation or into deep waters

Every coin has two shades Yes it would be off great benefits and even i am waiting for this to happen, but we cant keep this out of our minds that it is still a proposed plan. We can cherish this but can not rely on this. Take steps accordingly, thats the only thing i wanted to say.

Even I am optimistic about it. It will surely happen and if it does an awesome opportunity awaits us.

Regards
Ranveer

If it was approved, probably didnt had time to update CIC page.
Does anybody knows if this subject was mentioned in official canadian websites?

Can you please provide a source for this information?

I do not think if this is official as yet.

As least as per the CIC weblink. Coz it still says you need to have been a full time student for 6 months. So the rule still goes on.

But then again, this page was updated in Feb 2011.
So it has been close to 3 years. That totally dilutes the validity of this page.

WHOA! The CIC website is the official government website with the rules and regulations for Canadian Immigration. CIC is still listing the proposal (you have to go in to the news section and go back to late 2012 to find it) and since it was proposed there has been no news to it being rules as will happen on jan 1st. It is STILL a proposal. The page not being updated for three years has nothing to do with being out of date. It has't been updated because the 6 month rule has not changed yet. Simple as that.

If/when the rule changes the page will change too.

i think they have not updated because of some going on strikes.....over there

The strike is about visa officers, nothing to do with visa regulations or the running of a website. They have been updating the website with other news all the time.

You can see news releases here, dates and all.
