As expected, IRCC has announced upcoming changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit and the Open Work Permit. Check out the official announcement from the Canada website. Although IRCC has not yet confirmed the implementation dates, here are the key points to keep in mind:
✔️ PAL for Masters and Doctoral Students: 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. ✔️ Changes on PGWP Eligibility: Graduates from programs at public colleges will remain eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) of up to three years if they graduate from a field of study linked to occupations in long-term shortage (more updates coming soon). ✔️ English Requirement for PGWP Applicants: As part of changes to the PGWP Program, all applicants will be required to demonstrate a minimum language proficiency in French or English. CLB) level 7 for university graduates and CLB 5 for college graduates will be required for anyone applying for a post-graduation work permit on or after November 1, 2024. ✔️ Open Work Permit (OWP) Eligibility: Limiting work permit eligibility, later this year, to spouses of master’s degree students to only those whose program is at least 16 months in duration.
⚠️IMPORTANT NOTE: Further information on the measures will be announced on November 1, 2024. For prospective students holding a letter of acceptance for a program that is not linked to an in-demand job, I highly advise you to either change your program or submit your study permit application before Nov 1, 2024. If you need guidance, I have a free discovery call tonight Sep 20, 2024 at 9PM Manila time. www.studyliveexploreca.com/slestarterkit
