Canada’s Proposed Changes to International Student Program news on 22 July 2024

01 Aug, 2024     Student Visa, Canada

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.
