IRCC Updates Policies on International Student Requirements

As of January 22, 2024, IRCC has placed a two-year cap on international student permit applications in an effort to stabilize the growth of the international student population across the country. Apart from the existing application eligibility and requirements, a submission of a provincial attestation letter (PAL) will now be required from a province or territory, as this will be the basis for counting the provincial and national cap.

The eligibility of open work permits (OWP) for spouses and common-law partners of international students has also been limited for master's degree students at this time; however, IRCC mentions that updates will be made in the coming weeks.

While these changes may be sudden, rest assured that CMTN is doing its best to stay updated, and we remain steadfast in supporting the needs of both our current and incoming students. For inquiries or clarification, you may connect with our International Student Advisors.
