The Canadian Government is planning a new compliance reporting system for post-secondary institutions. Under the proposed rules, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will have the authority to suspend study permit processing for non-compliant institutions. Students will be required to file a new study permit application before transferring to a new institution, and the limit on off-campus work during studies will increase from 20 to 24 hours per week. These changes aim to enhance the integrity of the International Student Program and ensure better oversight of Designated Learning Institutions.
