The excitement builds as the Government of Canada announces new work permit deadlines for international students graduating between September 1st and May 15th from public-private programs annually.
Canada and the United States continue to be prime destinations for international students, largely due to the straightforward process of obtaining work permits post-graduation. The international education sector contributes roughly US$16 billion each year to the Canadian economy.
This post will provide all the necessary information regarding the new dates and deadlines for the Canada Work Permit, along with a detailed step-by-step guide through the application process.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) made the announcement on March 22nd to deter schools from altering their admission dates in anticipation of policy changes.
The adjustment in application dates is a strategic move to control population growth and tackle the housing challenges within the country.
Starting in 2024, the Canadian government intends to implement a two-year limit on the number of international students admitted.
