Canada Visa Changes

So, here’s the scoop – Marc Miller just spilled the beans on a game-changer for international students in Canada. Brace yourselves because the government’s throwing down a two-year cap on new study permits. It’s not just any cap; it’s a move to tighten the whole student visa scene. The article published by ICEF says that Miller is on a mission to make sure those international students aren’t just coming for the maple syrup but getting a top-notch education. And he’s not holding back, taking a swing at those shady private institutions that’ve been causing a ruckus.

Now, get this – they’re not just slapping on a cap and calling it a day. Oh no, it’s a whole strategy. They’re slicing up the cap pie by province, trying to dish out fairness. Sure, some places might feel the squeeze, but it’s all in the name of balance. But wait, there’s more! You can’t just slide in your study permit application; you have to attach a provincial attestation now. And guess what? Graduate programs are getting a VIP pass, so they’re off the hook from the cap drama.

It’s like connecting the dots – from checking acceptance letters to beefing up financial proof requirements. The government’s playing the long game, promising to keep rubbing shoulders with provinces and schools. They’re dead set on finding that sweet spot for international students and making sure the whole education gig in Canada stays on point. So, buckle up, folks – big changes are coming!
