In fact, many countries often adjust their requirements or regulations for studying abroad. The new adjustment in Canada now is aimed at the graduation work visa for international students. If you are a student who wants to work in Canada, just look at its current graduation work visa.

1. Adjustment of graduation work visa

22 will be a difficult and huge challenge for international students at all stages. College students, regardless of you, me and him, are all "alumni" of ZOOM University and are forced to adapt to the brand-new online course model. The life of fresh graduates is also difficult, because of adventureland!

There is a more headache for international students who have graduated! According to the regulations of Immigration Canada, international students must have a certain period of work experience before they can apply for permanent residence (PR).

However, the graduation work visa has a time limit, ranging from 8 months to 3 years, and it is impossible to renew it in most cases.

This means that if you can't find a job or lose your job due to the epidemic, international students will not be able to meet the requirements of applying for PR within the validity period of the work visa, and may be deported when the work visa expires.

The good news is that under the collective petition of more than 16, international students, the Canadian Immigration Department finally promised to make adjustments.

second, the Canadian Immigration Department announced plans to extend the graduation work visa for international students

According to the CICNEWS update, Canadian Immigration Minister Mendicino recently responded to the question about whether the graduation work visa (PGWP) can be extended.

the minister first promised: "No foreign students will be deported because their work visas have expired, and they will be allowed to apply for a period of restore status after their work visas have expired."

At present, Immigration Canada is making plans to try to extend the period of graduation work visa. At the same time, Tapley, vice minister of immigration, confirmed that before the formal implementation of the program, international students with expired work visas can maintain their legal work status through implied status.

Although international students don't have to worry about the deadline of graduation work visa for the time being, it is not known how long it can be extended because the specific policy is not clear.

So, you can't relax about finding a job, but you must adjust your mentality. As the netizen said, "Even Trump will lose his job this year, so take it easy."

III. Matters concerning visa application for studying in Canada

1. When is the peak season for studying in Canada

The school season in Canada is January, May and September, and the proportion of students who start school in September is the largest, accounting for 8% of all students. In addition, parents who send students to school in September can sign visas for visiting relatives and returning to Canada, and June-August is Canada before the school starts in September.

2. How long is the Canadian visa processing?

TRV visiting visa (visiting relatives): 2 weeks working days

returning students-renewal: 2 weeks working days

(ordinary) student visa: 2 months working days

SDS student visa: 2 weeks working days

It determines the processing progress offer Canadian visa, and the so-called application peak season, near future. Today, I will sort out the questions about the Canadian visa application for everyone.

3. Visa application should be made as early as possible

Students who start school in September will be restricted in the embassy (too many people have to be screened and restricted), which has been confirmed in visas over the years. The later they submit their visas, the more likely they are to be rejected because of the shortage of places, even if the materials are not bad. Students who are likely to get a visa in peacetime may also refuse to sign because of quota restrictions in this high-density period. Therefore, do your best to sign the visa by express delivery and make preparations in advance, so as not to regret it after refusing the visa.

4. Pay attention to the visa processing cycle

The official processing cycle of Canadian study visas is 8 weeks, but the processing cycle will be recalculated in the following situations: physical examination/re-examination, embassy investigation, supplement (CAQ or guardianship), embassy interview, etc.

It will take another two months from the submission of supplementary materials to the final result. In order to avoid this situation, please make a physical examination in advance and prepare all the materials.
