Canada has launched a pilot project to
speed up the review process for rejected study permits. Starting October 1, the
Study Permit Pilot Project will allow students who were denied permits to
complete judicial reviews in under five months, down from the usual 14-18
months. To be eligible, both the student and immigration authorities must agree
on the case’s facts. The project aims to reduce the Federal Court’s backlog of
immigration cases, which has surged since the pandemic. There are no extra fees
to join, and applications must be submitted within 15 to 60 days, depending on
the applicant’s location.
