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

[jaspriet]

Hi
Is it going to happen that there would be no need to apply for off campus work permit and students can work from the very first day of start off 1st semester.I read the below article...

Proposed Changes to Study Permit Applications Will Become Effective Jan. 1, 2014

As of January 1, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has published amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation regarding study permits.

For post-secondary studies lasting longer than six months, a foreign student is required to hold a study permit to study in Canada. The amendment will limit issuance of study permits to students attending designated learning institutions.

Furthermore, all study permits will have an enforceable condition that states that “a student must enroll in and actively pursue a course or program of study after arrival in Canada.” Student permit holders could face removal for non-compliance.

Moreover, CIC will authorize temporary residents already in Canada studying at the preschool, primary or secondary school level to apply for a study permit from within Canada. This option will also be available to those who have completed a course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated post-secondary learning institution.

Finally, CIC intends to authorize international students attending designated institutions to work part-time during their studies, provided that they hold a valid study permit and are enrolled full-time in an academic, vocational, or professional training program lasting at least six months. This change will eliminate the need for the six-month waiting period for international students to apply for an off-campus work permit, and will remove the need for another application after the initial study permit.

Please note that students pursuing studies of less than six months (such as international exchange student programs lasting only a semester) will not be affected. For more details on the proposed changes to study permits or for assistance with applying to study in Canada, please contact our office.

This change was much needed. Some people were using study permits as a backdoor for finding a job in Canada and taking up spaces real students needed.

Recently, Citizenship & Immigration Canada has proposed some changes in International Student Visa Program for Jan 2014 intake onwards as mentioned below:

A lot of prospective International Students who are planning to study in Canada are worried about the proposed changes in the Study Permit in Canada from Jan 2014, but the truth is that there are more positive changes than negative in favor of the students. There is absolutely nothing to worry about for genuine students who are attending regular classes in Public & reputed Private educational institutions in Canada. Below are the proposed changes which will further improve the quality of International Student Program once it is implemented in Jan 2014:

Attendance: All International Students will be required to register & regularly attend the educational institution in Canada for which their Study Visa has been granted, failing to which will make their status in Canada as illegal.

Handpicked Institutions: Not all Canadian educational institutions will be able to enroll international students after Jan 2014, only those institutions approved by Canadian Government will be able to receive Study Permit holders. This will filter out the some of the private institutions which are bogus & unethical which will further safe guard the international student's interest & it will be assured that they dont fall prey to these fraud institutions.

Reporting to CIC: All designated Canadian Universities & Colleges will be required to provide the regularity reports of international students to Canadian Government on regular basis.

Post Study Work Permit (PSWP) Provision: Only those foreign students graduating for the approved Canadian Universities & Colleges will be eligible for Post Study Work Permit.

PSWP Eligibility: PSWP will only be offered to Full-time students, who had regularly attended a course of minimum EIGHT months which will lead to Certificate, Diploma or Degree. Those Students who are attending short term study programs which are less than 8 months OR language programs like English & French, preparatory programs & general interest courses will not be able to apply for PSWP.

Work Off-campus without Permit: All regular foreign students attending a course of minimum EIGHT months at any approved Canadian educational institutions & holding valid study visa/permit will not be required to apply for separate Off-Campus Work Permit, they will be allowed to work 20 Hours per week on their Student Visa itself, which means there will be NO waiting period of SIX months for newly landed international students in Canada, they can work On-Campus/Off-Campus immediately after registering with their designated University or College.
