CANADA POLICY WATCH
Canadian Centre for Study Abroad Policy
Focused on the Canadian international student system, including IRCC Study Permit, PAL/TAL, Provincial Quotas, PGWP Post Graduate Work Permits, University and College Admission Policy. The policy content is based on official announcements by the Government of Canada, IRCC, provincial governments and universities as a priority source.
Check the focus.
In particular, it distinguishes between the date of publication of the policy and the date of its entry into force, and reconciles the applicable student, school type, curriculum level, exemption conditions and transition arrangements. Immigration and study-at-school rules may change rapidly and applications should remain subject to the Canadian Government ' s effective requirements on that date.
