For international students in the U.S., understanding the differences between Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Starting in September 2024, international students in Canada will be limited to working up to 24 hours a week during the academic year.
International students in the US can work while studying.
International students from certain countries must apply for ETIAS before entering the EU starting in 2025 for short-term stays up to 90 days within 180 days.
Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) suggests that international students need a new permit to transfer between Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). Students must apply for this permit before starting at a new school but can stay at their current one while waiting for approval. This change aims to improve oversight because DLIs are managed by provinces, making it difficult for the federal government to enforce rules. Currently, DLIs follow provincial regulations, and the federal government cannot ensure that each school follows new admission rules. This proposal aims to make it easier for the federal government to manage and monitor student transfers.
