This year, the landscape of studying in Canada as an international student has changed significantly. These changes underscore an essential fact: Permanent Residence in Canada is not guaranteed for international students and graduates.
Super Visa vs PGP: May 21st marked the reopening of the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). However, this year also marks the fourth consecutive year that Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will select eligible applicants from the 2020 pool.
IRCC Suspends Flag-poling Services as of June 21. Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has implemented significant changes affecting Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) applicants. Foreign nationals can no longer apply for a PGWP at their Canadian port of entry (POE).
In January 2025, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) will launch three innovative Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams specifically for international graduates. This significant initiative creates dedicated pathways for those who have completed Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate programs in Canada, offering them a unique opportunity to secure permanent residency in British Columbia.
The latest IRCC invites are part of a strategic series of targeted draws introduced with the category-based selection system in May 2023. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently invited 1,499 candidates to apply for permanent residency in the latest Express Entry draw.
Candidates in category-based Express Entry draws who meet the criteria have a good chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA), even with a CRS score under 500, according to current trends.
