Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWPs)
Canada continues to be a top choice for international students, known for its world-class education and supportive policies. In 2024, Canada introduced several new rules to enhance the experience for international students.
These new rules make Canada an even more attractive destination for international students. At Bluestone Overseas Consultants, we are dedicated to helping you navigate these changes and make the most of your educational journey in Canada
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable oppotunity to learn.
By staying informed and taking advantage of these emerging trends, Indian students can make the most of their study abroad experience.
Studying Benefits in Canada
The year 2024-25 is set to bring new opportunities for Indian students looking to study abroad
Streamlined Study Permit Process:
The study permit application process has been streamlined, reducing wait times and simplifying requirements. An online portal for document submission and status tracking ensures that students can manage their applications more efficiently and start their studies on time.
Increased Work Hours for Students:
International students can now work off-campus for up to 30 hours per week during academic sessions, up from the previous 20 hours. This change allows students to gain more work experience and support themselves financially.
Enhanced Support Services:
Canadian institutions must now offer enhanced support services, including mental health resources, academic advising, and career counseling. These services aim to ensure a smooth transition to life in Canada and success in academic and professional endeavors.
Enhanced Pathways to Permanent Residency:
Canada has introduced more pathways to permanent residency for graduates in highdemand fields such as technology, engineering, and healthcare, reflecting the country’s commitment to retaining talented individuals.
