Historical evolution of Canada's study abroad policy

Before 2003, the Canadian government's visa policy towards China was relatively strict and very conservative compared with other countries. After 2003, the Canadian government began to introduce some policies to attract overseas students, gradually increasing the number of international students and increasing the visa rate.

In 2008, the Canadian government introduced the category of "Experiencing Immigrants" (CEC), which is very popular among international students. The average probation period is only half a year, and the refusal rate is less than 5%, which is one of the highest success rates among all kinds of immigrants. According to experts studying in Canada, the Canadian government has relaxed the work visa policy for international students after graduation. International students can unconditionally obtain a three-year work visa as long as they complete their studies for two years and successfully complete their studies. The combination of three-year work visa and experience immigration greatly increases the convenience of international students' immigration. At this point, Canada's major reform measures to attract international students have just begun.

In 2009, the requirement of Canadian visa application guarantee for international students from China decreased from 18 months to 12 months, a total decrease of 33%.

In July, 2065438+00, Canada launched the SPP program for international students from China, exempting applicants with certain IELTS scores from explaining the historical sources of funds.

20 1 1 Canada launched the visa guarantee for overseas students in China in May to simplify the New Deal. As long as the applicant has a certain IELTS score and is directly admitted to the applied public university or college, the original complicated financial materials can be replaced by a valid investment guarantee certificate issued by a Canadian financial institution.
