Who needs a study permit in order to study in Canada?

/

Foreign nationals may be checking to see if they are eligible to study in Canada without a study permit in light of the recent announcement that Canada will be capping the number of international study permits given over the next two years. While the majority of foreign nationals wishing to study in Canada are required to get a study permit, there are several exceptions to this rule, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). In particular, foreign people who fit into one of the following eight groups could be eligible for this, according to IRCC. Discover your options to study in Canada Temporary learners A study permit is not necessary for foreign students visiting Canada for a post-secondary program lasting six months or less. relatives or employees of foreign delegates You might not need a permission to study in Canada if you are related to (as a family member) or employed by (as a staff member) someone who has been recognized by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) as a foreign representative to Canada. Note: To find out if you require a study permission, your embassy can get in touch with GAC. Members of a nation defined by the Visiting Forces Act as foreign armed forces A study permit is not required for certain foreign military personnel who are in Canada on official business and intend to continue their education here. This specifically relates to those who serve in the armed forces of a nation that Canada has designated under the Visiting Forces Act (VFA), either as designated civilian personnel or as members of the armed forces. It is important to remember that minor children and other family members of foreign military personnel may still need a study permit in order to pursue their education in Canada. Note: A letter of acceptance from Canada’s Department of National Defence is required for qualified members of the armed forces. Canadian Indians with a registration Keep in mind that being a Registered Indian does not equate to being an Indian citizen or resident. Rather, it alludes to being recognized as an indigenous person in Canada. Canadian minors Minor children can pursue their education in Canada without a study permit under the following five scenarios: The young youngster is either a refugee or a claimant. The little child’s parents are either refugees or asylum seekers. The parents of the minor kid are citizens or permanent residents of Canada. The minor child is accompanied by a parent who is permitted to work or study in Canada while attending preschool, primary school, or secondary school. The young person is enrolled in preschool, primary school, or secondary school in Canada, but they are not accompanied. Students studying French language and culture who are both temporary residents and asylum seekers In order to enroll in French language and cultural integration classes in Quebec, eligible temporary residents or asylum seekers in Canada need not need a study permission. courses for integration and settlement for temporary residents There is no need for a study permit for people who enroll in settlement and integration programs run by provinces or territories to aid in their adjustment to Canada.

The advantages of requesting and being granted a study visa There are advantages to applying for and receiving an IRCC study permit, even if there are some chances for foreign individuals to pursue an education in Canada without one. For Canadian minors The IRCC states that minors in Canada who have a valid study permit can access more opportunities, services, and programs, such as: Co-ops in secondary schools: work permits Social Services (in certain territories/provinces) The freedom to move between educational levels without having to seek for new permissions or change existing ones When minor children reach the age of majority, which varies by province or territory and is either 18 or 19 years old, they must apply for a study permit in order to continue their education in Canada. Advantages of a study permit in general: working while you study Depending on the terms specified in their study permit, only enrolled full-time students at Canadian Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) are permitted to work either on or off campus while they pursue their degree. Conversely, students who do not have a study permit are not allowed to work while they are enrolled in classes and must apply for a different kind of work permit.

In what ways might a modification to my NOC affect my PR application?

In what ways might a modification to my NOC affect my PR application?

/

On rare occasions, applicants for permanent residency (PR) in Canada may first submit an application under one National Occupation Classification (NOC) code, then change it at a later stage of their immigration process. For instance, a candidate may submit an application for permanent residence in Canada via one of the 11 Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) that are overseen by Canada or through one of the Express Entry-managed programs. Let’s take the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), or PNP, as an illustration. We will specifically examine this scenario through the use of a fictitious applicant who was selected through a tech draw. Under a tech draw, the OINP sent this candidate, Lincoln, a software engineer, a Notification of Interest* (NOI). Discover your options to study in Canada *Notably, Ontario refers to the invitation sent by the OINP as a “NOI,” signifying that the province is extending an invitation to the chosen candidate to make an application for a provincial nomination. After submitting his expression of interest to the federal Express Entry pool, Lincoln was issued his NOI. Using an Enhanced PNP, the provincial government sent the candidate a notice of intent (NOI) after looking over his profile in the federal Express Entry pool. Lincoln was granted a NOI due to his compliance with the OINP tech draw specifications, which included obtaining a primary NOC code from the list of occupations that the OINP targeted. Lincoln has until now to submit an application to the Ontario government for his provincial nomination. In order to accomplish this, he will need to give the Ontario government supporting documentation for the NOC code he claimed, such as reference letters. To enable the province to confirm that the employment duties and responsibilities of the applicant match the NOC (Software Developers and Programmers) listed in his federal Express Entry profile, reference letters from each company should be received (NOC 21232). Furthermore, NOC codes are five-digit numbers that are intended to “classify and categorize occupations for immigration purposes.” Discover more about the Government of Canada’s NOC 2021 system by visiting this dedicated webpage. You can also use this tool to locate your own NOC. What happens if my NOC changes at the provincial level while I’m going through the immigration process? The evaluation of the candidate’s supporting documentation determines whether or not the employment function and responsibilities correspond appropriately with a NOC that is included in the targeted professions list of the province or territory. The results of this evaluation will determine what occurs next, particularly if the provincial or territory government finds that a candidate’s declared NOC is in conflict with the duties and obligations of their position. Note: We’ll use Lincoln, our fictitious candidate, as an example again in the following. First hypothetical scenario: Lincoln’s application listed NOC 21232 (Software Developers and Programmers). The Ontario government, however, determined that his position more closely matched NOC 21234, Web Developers and Programmers. Hypothetical 2: The Ontario government determined that the job applicant’s work more closely matched NOC 22220, Computer Network and Web Technicians, even though his application listed NOC 21232, Software Developers and Programmers. In the first case, despite the fact that Lincoln’s profession does not correspond with his declared NOC, his application can still be approved because the Ontario government has included his evaluated NOC in its list of targeted occupations for tech draws. In this instance, the OINP will get in touch with the client and ask for more details. In the second situation, Lincoln will not be considered eligible for a provincial nomination through the OINP since his evaluated NOC is not on Ontario’s targeted occupations list. We will not accept his application. If my primary NOC differs from the one I used when I first applied at the provincial level, what should I do? Before submitting their application for a provincial nomination, candidates may decide not to proceed with their application as it will be rejected as non-eligible if they discover that their primary NOC has changed and is no longer listed as a targeted NOC. If this NOC change is discovered after the application has been submitted, or if the application is submitted in spite of this revelation, the applicant may try to withdraw it, but they would probably forfeit the processing fees for their provincial nomination application. Problems with the federal government’s modified NOCs A candidate’s application for PR with the federal government may be affected by a change in NOC following the successful receipt of a provincial nomination from Ontario. Note: Candidates whose provincial nomination is based on a NOC must continue to hold the same NOC for their principal occupation as when they first applied to the province. Candidates for provincial nominations specific to a NOC who change their primary NOC code at the federal level risk having their application rejected for not meeting the eligibility requirements associated with their candidacy. What’s the deal with my NOC code? Understanding the significance of NOC codes in general can help you better grasp how an altered NOC may affect your application. To put it briefly, NOC codes play a significant role in determining a candidate’s eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) through Express Entry, Canada’s application management system. FSWP Candidates must meet the minimum requirements for FSWP eligibility in addition to other requirements, which include at least one year of continuous, skilled, full-time or equivalent part-time employment at a paid rate in the same NOC (primary NOC). *This work experience must fit into one of the NOC’s Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) areas in order to qualify: TEER 1, TEER 2, or TEER 3 CEC Candidates must achieve the minimum requirements for CEC eligibility, in addition to other program requirements, by having at least one year of paid, full-time or comparable part-time, skilled work experience* in Canada during the previous three years. Keep in mind that work experience obtained while enrolled in classes does not apply

Getting PR after graduating from a master’s or PhD program as an international student

/

Students coming to Canada for a Ph.D. or master’s degree may find it simpler to get permanent residence (PR) currently. One of several modifications to Canada’s system for international students, the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) policy was originally announced on January 22 and was enacted on February 15, 2024 by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Under this regulation, international graduates of master’s degree programs at Canadian Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), the only post-secondary educational establishments approved by the International Relations and Cultural Council (IRCC) to admit international students, can now apply for a three-year PGWP. This holds true even for students enrolled in two-year master’s degrees or shorter. Discover your options to study in Canada Note: Prior to February 15, there existed a clear correlation between the duration of a master’s program and the validity period of a PGWP. How does this facilitate the Canadian PR process? The benefit of a PGWP is that, after completing a program at a DLI that qualifies, it enables graduates of overseas schools to work in Canada. Many of Canada’s immigration procedures either demand or reward job experience, therefore having work experience in the country is beneficial for individuals who eventually hope to pursue permanent residence. For instance, candidates with a minimum of 80* additional CRS points for work experience gained in Canada prior to applying for PR are rewarded by Canada’s well-known Express Entry application management system, which gives priority to a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. *This point value is applicable to candidates for Express Entry under the Core/Human Capital Factors segment of the system who do not have a spouse or common-law partner. Candidates may obtain a variable number of CRS points depending on the circumstances, such as applying with their spouse or partner. Therefore, because it gives them more time to get useful Canadian work experience that they can cite on their immigration application, this enlarged PGWP policy will make it easier for qualifying students to obtain PR. Additional ways that IRCC facilitates master’s and PhD student immigration to Canada The CRS system of Express Entry incentivizes greater education. In addition to the value of a Ph.D. or master’s degree for immigration to Canada, the Express Entry CRS system favors higher education levels. In particular, the Express Entry system rewards students with master’s and doctoral degrees with the two highest CRS ratings under “level of education.” Master’s students: 126 points with a spouse/common-law partner; 135 points without Ph.D. students: 140 points with a spouse/common-law partner; 150 points without Simply, more CRS points gives candidates a better chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian PR. Many provinces/territories have dedicated Provincial Nominee Program streams for Masters/PhD students Students who obtain either a master’s or Ph.D. degree in Canada also open themselves up to various additional Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams. Note: With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, eleven of Canada’s thirteen provinces and territories run PNPs. This is due to the fact that several of the provinces that are the top destinations for newcomers to Canada, such as British Columbia and Ontario, offer specialized programs for their graduates. You can click on the links below to find out more details about a few of these PNP streams.

Breaking: IRCC will not extend the temporary arrangement allowing off-campus work hours.

/

International students’ off-campus employment hours will no longer be subject to interim controls, according to Immigration Minister Marc Miller. As of October 2022, overseas students with study permits that authorize off-campus work are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week during class hours; this is a temporary change from the prior policy, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Rather, foreign students in Canada will be allowed to work up to 24 hours a week while classes are in session beginning with the autumn semester of this year. The IRCC stated in December of last year that it will “continue to examine options for this policy in the future, such as expanding off-campus work hours for international students to 30 hours per week while class is in session,” thus this comes as a surprise. Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration The Minister stated today that pupils’ academic performance would unavoidably suffer if they worked thirty hours a week throughout the school year. He added that restricting the amount of time a student can work off campus will help discourage foreign students who would apply for a study permit primarily with the intention of working in Canada. Additionally, he stated that given the new cost of living requirements for overseas students that were announced in December of last year, 24 hours would probably be enough. In addition to the tuition, a single study visa applicant who wants to enroll as an international student in Canada must be able to demonstrate that they have $20,635 saved up. During their academic break, international students in Canada are allowed to work an unrestricted number of hours. The 20 hours per week requirement is now mandatory for those enrolled in summer classes. Additional modifications for overseas pupils This is the most recent in a line of adjustments to Canada’s policy for foreign students. According to the IRCC, these modifications are meant to strengthen the system’s integrity. For instance, the agency made acquiring a study permission require an additional step. A Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province housing their designated learning institution (DLI) is now required of students. This falls under a total cap on the quantity of study permits the IRCC will handle by the year 2024. The department is also in the process of putting the Trusted Institutions Framework for DLIs in Canada into practice. These institutions have a track record of providing satisfactory assistance to overseas students. Are you able to work as an international student in Canada? If an international student wants to work off campus throughout their academic year, they need to fulfill a number of prerequisites, such as: Possessing a current study permit Attending a DLI full-time already have started studying at their DLI and remain in satisfactory academic standing studying in an academic, vocational, or professional training program that is at least six months in duration and leads to a degree, diploma, or certificate; and having a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN) As long as they are registered to return to full-time studies in the next semester, students are free to work as many hours as they choose while their studies are on break.

In the most recent draws, PNP candidates are invited by three provinces.

/

This week, notices of interest were sent to candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) by Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba. With the exception of Nunavut and Quebec, every province and territory in Canada has its own PNP. These initiatives support the efforts of provincial governments in choosing economic immigrants who will successfully integrate into the community and bolster its economy. Established in 1998, the Permanent Residence Program (PNP) aims to disperse the economic advantages of immigration over the entire country of Canada, rather than just a select few major hubs like Toronto or Vancouver. Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration Depending on their eligibility, all PNPs offer a variety of streams to draw in a broad pool of applicants, including individuals with experience in particular fields, international students, and those with job offers in the province. Results of provincial immigration, April 20–26 The Ontario Expressions of Interest (EOIs) in the Employer Job Offer; Foreign Worker Stream were sent to 209 individuals by the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) on April 23. Every contestant received a minimum of 53 points. Candidates in skilled trades occupations were the focus of the draw. Since the province solicited 630 candidates on January 9, this was the first draw of that kind. British Columbia A relatively minor draw was held on April 23 for the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), which invited little over 86 candidates from the Skilled Worker and International Graduate streams (including BC candidates for Express Entry). Five lotteries were held with the purpose of selecting candidates for particular jobs. 45 applicants with a minimum score of 120 in tech jobs were invited to the largest draw. Additionally, 19 candidates with a minimum score of 95 in healthcare occupations were invited by the province. Eleven applicants were solicited for positions in childcare and construction. Candidates for childcare and construction required to score 95 and 92, respectively. Lastly, less than five applicants with a minimum score of 85 in veterinary jobs were also invited. Manitoba In the most recent draws of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), 327 candidates were invited on April 24. Three streams of candidates were invited by the government, with 203 individuals from the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream who had finished their post-secondary education in Manitoba being one of them. To be considered, these individuals needed to receive a minimum score of 811. Additionally, 66 candidates from the International Education stream received invitations. There was no reference to a minimum score. In the end, 58 applicants were invited via the Skilled Worker Overseas stream as a result of a calculated recruitment campaign. To be considered, these contenders had to receive a score of at least 644. Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration

How to be ready for the interview for Canadian immigration

/

An interview with an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officer is required of a certain percentage of new immigrants who apply for permanent residency (PR) each year in order to support their application. These interviews, which are frequently the last in the application procedure, can be crucial in proving to the immigration department that a candidate is qualified for permanent residence status in Canada. The reasons for perhaps needing an interview, what to expect, and successful interview techniques will all be covered in the following. Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration Why does the IRCC interview people? The decision to ask applicants for an interview is primarily left up to the individual IRCC officials. Such requests are typically made in order to assist with the verification of data related to a citizenship or permanent resident application. Verification of information may be required for employment experience, personal background, language proficiency, intention to immigrate to Canada, or even just to confirm applicants’ identities. Interviews are frequently held for family sponsorship applications in order to ascertain the relationship between the lead applicant and any dependents, as well as the sincerity of any spousal, conjugal, or common-law relationships. Interviews may also center on information that was provided in an application but was either missing or insufficient, and the examining IRCC officer may not be persuaded that this information satisfies eligibility requirements. What are some recommended procedures for the IRCC interview that I should follow? The following are some recommended practices that CIC News has prepared for interviewees, based on information provided to IRCC officers on conducting interviews: Examine your application in detail. Examining their applications and pertinent documentation in advance will help interviewees prepare fully, just as the IRCC officer does. Incomplete or missing information in an application is one of the areas that interviewers prefer to focus on, therefore applicants would be well to prepare for questions and queries regarding these aspects of their file. If it was not included in their initial application, newcomers may also offer additional supporting documents (though they should probably be ready to explain why such information was not initially submitted). Talk clearly Interviewees ought to make an effort to communicate clearly. They should make sure their responses are understandable by speaking slowly, clearly, and in plain language—avoid jargon. If interviewees need assistance or have any special requirements, officers are expected to provide accommodations for them during the interview process. To ensure a seamless experience, newcomers should thus make their needs known at the interview or beforehand. Interviewees ought to make an effort to stay serene and cool the entire time. Professionalism and competence may be communicated with ease through confident demeanor and body language. Be truthful. Although it should go without saying, interviewees should make sure their answers are truthful and in line with the data they submitted with their application. Officers of the IRCC will keep an eye out for material that seems inflated or fake. Honest and dependable responses show integrity and dependability. Importantly, misrepresentation (the willful submission of false information to IRCC as accurate) can have disastrous effects on an application for immigration, including losing PR status, being charged with a crime by IRCC, and being ineligible for Canadian immigration for at least five years. The biggest opportunity for success for newcomers will come from just providing all pertinent facts honestly. Finally, immigrants should understand that they may be found guilty of misrepresentation even if they are not aware of it and/or make a genuine error in the information they provide on their immigration application. This underlines once more how crucial it is to use caution when deciding what details to put in your immigration application. Handle issues calmly Interviewees should respond politely and productively to the interviewer’s concerns or difficult questions. Instead of taking offense, they ought to concentrate on offering explanations or clarifications as required. It is important for newcomers to remember that the interviewing immigration officer will ultimately determine whether they succeed or fail based on how well they can honestly verify that they fit all eligibility standards. As such, it is often wise to respond to any worries they may have in a composed and thoughtful way. Make inquiries and follow up as needed. If interviewees require any clarification or further information regarding the procedure or following stages, they should ask questions. Interviewees should feel free to ask questions and raise any issues they may have during the interview process; IRCC officials are trained to resolve any questions or concerns that newcomers may have. In a similar vein, candidates should, if necessary, follow up after the interview by giving more information or supporting paperwork or by waiting to hear from the interviewing authority. How can I obtain a waiver for an interview? Making ensuring that an immigration application has all necessary information and supporting documentation included at the time of submission is the best approach to obtain an interview waiver from the IRCC. An applicant’s likelihood of receiving an application waiver increases with completeness (however this can vary depending on the stream and immigration class that one applies through).
