In the autumn of 2020, the enrollment work of major universities in Canada proceeded normally. This announcement tells us that new international students can take online courses overseas, and they can also apply for PGWP program when the online courses reach 50%. Compared with the previous policy that online classes cannot exceed 20%, this change can be said to be huge.
At the beginning of April, IRCC announced this policy for the first time for international students who started school in May and June, and this announcement on May 14 was an extension of the policy for international students who started school in September. This policy is also a pioneering work. Online courses in Canada have never been regarded as "study time in Canada", but considering the special period, the Immigration Department thinks it is necessary to do so to reassure everyone.
The specific content of the announcement
1. Canada will be more and more favored by international students. Please believe that Canada can be the first choice for international students.
Although this description makes many people feel that Canadian officials are "canvassing" for themselves. However, it must be said that in the field of studying abroad, in the hearts of many international students, Canada's strength in all aspects is excellent.
1. Canada has many top universities in the world, which ensure high-quality education.
Tuition in Canada is not difficult to afford. Compared with other countries, the cost of studying in Canada is lower and the cost performance is higher.
2. Spouses of Canadian students can get a spouse work visa and enjoy legal work treatment.
Older international students who are married and have children can choose to send their spouses and children to Canada while working alone. Spouses can work in Canada to support their families.
Canada leads the world in campus safety.
The gun ban announced by Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau some time ago has largely guaranteed the safety of the people.
Canada's immigration policy is the most relaxed among western countries.
Canada welcomes international students, work visa holders, tourists and permanent residents with green cards to stay in Canada. These residents are also the first choice to stay in Canada. In Canada, international students have far more opportunities to obtain permanent resident status than other countries.
Second, Canada's superior national welfare and very high national life satisfaction make more and more international students choose to stay.
According to the questionnaire of the Canadian Department of International Education, more than 60% of international students expressed their hope to stay in Canada and become permanent residents of Canada after graduation. Canada has always been a yearning place for most immigrants studying abroad.
At the same time, since the global outbreak of COVID-19, many measures taken by the Canadian government in preventing and controlling the epidemic and supporting its citizens have attracted worldwide attention, showing the ability and attitude of the Canadian government.
Third, a more tolerant study abroad policy makes it easier for international students to apply for immigration.
This year, the scores of the fast track (EE) in Canada have dropped repeatedly, which has also increased the confidence of many people who want to immigrate to Canada and study in Canada.
On May 14, EE scored CEC again. Compared with the last round, this round has dropped by 5 points, directly 447 points! The number of people invited is as high as 337 1 person. Previously, the CEC draw score of April 16 was even as low as 455. The epidemic has actually given Canada, Canadian students and those who are eager to immigrate to Canada more opportunities to study abroad.
