Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said the changes will give students more certainty about their ability to enter Canada once travel and health restrictions are eased.
The time since a student applies for a study permit – rather than when they were approved for one – will now count towards a future post-graduation work permit. Students must eventually be approved for a study permit and complete more than 50% of their program in the country.
Approvals in the visa process will be made in two stages: eligibility and admissibility.
##How to get a pre-approval for a study permit
IRCC will provide an approval-in-principle for study permits if students pass the first stage.
In an email to CIC News, IRCC explained:
The two-stage assessment process will be applied to applicants at all levels of study whose program is starting in the fall semester or earlier and who submit, or have already submitted, a study permit application online on or before September 15, 2020.
At the initial eligibility stage, officers will assess:
Letter of acceptance
Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (for those destined for a learning institution in Quebec)
Proof of funds
That the applicant is a bona fide student who will leave Canada when they no longer have legal temporary or permanent status
Family ties to Canada
For the admissibility stage, before a final decision is made, officers will review the following:
Immigration medical examination
Security-Police certificates
Biometrics
Upon receiving final approval for their study permit, students will be able to travel to Canada once international travel resumes.
