New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

I also feel IRCC should relax rules for graduates of April, like how on earth can someone get completion letter ASAP especially with Covid when college staff are working from home.

There are people who finished their programs and are waiting for completion letters. Did you see 2022 or 2023 anywhere in my post? lol

So just follow the rules, wait until qualified to apply. There will be other streams coming. Dont you worry

I'm starting to think that with all these hurdles, the applications might not fill up so quickly. Maybe that's why they have Nov 5 as a deadline.

That is what I think too .

When do you feel the cap would be reached?

I'd say June or July

 

[SatNight]

Yeah, it seems that there are many hurdles for it to be reached in a day or two.

Can they not just open up the stream in batches. Like 15000 applications on May 6, another on June 6th and so forth. Why the need to have everything on the same day. Really weird program thinking about it.

If by May the processing times are still in limbo, then I personally will not apply for the stream. I cant imagine myself waiting over a year for any visa application. Will rather go back home and try for other countries.

Opportunity doesn't mean 100%

I just did mine today, they let you do it upfront, and it cost me 300$, they might not accept it or they may ask me to do one on their request, but I thought it would be worth it to do it. It's valid for 12 months. If you want to do it, try to do it with a panel physician that is with eMedical, they will do everything for you from scratch.

Yea I concur, I think the program could be open until end of July or even august.

To be eligible, your work permit must be valid until IRCC finishes processing your application and you must be legally employed, we don't have a timeline for that yet but it could be anywhere between 6 months and 2.5 years. So if your work permit is about to expire, you're on your own and have to figure out how to continue working legally.

Hi My PGWP is going to expire in Nov. If I understand correctly, I cannot extend my PGWP in July (within 4 months) if I apply this new stream?

You can! PGWP extension policy is not related to this. its not a BOWP.

Also guys I know emotions are running high, everyone is stressed, this is life-changing for many, but in reality, we don't know for sure what is going to happen. Remember, this didn't exist two weeks ago and we were going on with your lives as usual. Just prepare what you can, be ready, consider this an opportunity and try your best. Don't put the weight of all this on you, as long as you do your best that's enough. If you don't get it, it's okay. Opportunities will show up.

Thanks for the positivity. Atleast in my case, I'll get a PGWP soon. 6 months work and I can apply for PNP. So if I don't make it through this stream, lots of streams up ahead.
