Canada finally provided instructions for international students
On July 14, 2020, the minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Honorable Marco Mendicino provided instructions and temporary measures for international students prior to the fall term. IRCC will temporarily divide the study permit processing into two stages to allow candidates with missing documents not to be refused. The approval-in-principle stage will include enrollment to a Canadian learning institution and a proof of funds approval. Such students will be able to begin studying remotely. Moreover, this time will be counted towards the PGWP eligibility but no more than 50% of the program duration. The final approval stage will be required to allow the students to continue their program in Canada. At this stage, applicants must submit all documents and pass all checks. Last year, Canada hosted over 650,000 international students. 58,000 international graduates became permanent residents of Canada.
