Immigration Minister is working on a solution to help those with expiring PGWPs   On February 6, 2023, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), confessed that he has not yet found a perfect solution for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) extension policy;   however, he is actively seeking and working on one. International students whose post-graduate work permits (PGWPs) are expiring or have already expired are stuck in limbo, with no news on extensions or a dedicated Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draw yet.   Though it is expected that we will witness a CEC exclusive draw within the next few weeks, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cut-off remains much higher than pre-pandemic standards.   Thus, they must either depart from Canada shortly after their work permit statuses expire or choose alternate methods to extend their stay legally.   #IRCC, #Fraser, #PGWP, #international_students, #international_graduates, #CEC_draws, #CRS_score, #foreign_workers, #PR   (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosEafPOS8-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ten Canadian DLIs had a record number of student dropouts leading to asylum requests The Department of Immigration's Integrity Risk Management Branch recently released a confidential report identifying the approved academic institutions, commonly referred to as Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), which had the most no-shows, dropouts, and asylum requests. This list poses important questions about Canada's rapidly burgeoning international education sector, which has seen schools in the country welcome hundreds of thousands of overseas students at tuition fees significantly higher than those for local students. According to the Canadian government, seven of the ten schools with a record high rate of non-compliance regarding international student attendance are located in Ontario and were private institutions. The other three universities are Laurentian University in Sudbury, Cape Breton University and University Sainte-Anne, located in Nova Scotia - all publicly funded institutions. These international students often applied for asylum rather than attending their registered courses as expected. #International_students, #asylum_seekers, #refugee_students, #DLIs, #fraud, #immigration_fraud https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2023/01/12/no-shows-dropouts-and-asylum-requests-these-10-schools-have-canadas-highest-rates-of-non-compliance-among-international-students.html#:~:text=A%20total%20of%20197%20asylum%20claims%20were%20reported,permanent%20residence%2C%20as%20often%20marketed%20by%20unscrupulous%20recruiters. https://flipboard.com/article/no-shows-dropouts-and-asylum-requests-these-10-schools-have-canada-s-highest-/f-44469d6161%2Fthestar.co   (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhZKzYL7CJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Brunswick launched a new program to retain international students in the province   On January 10, 2023, the provincial Government of New Brunswick launched the Study and Succeed in New Brunswick program, granting international students access to the resources, assistance and networking necessary for a prosperous career and content living in the province.   Leveraging the accomplishments of the 2018-2021 Study and Stay pilot program in Atlantic Canada, the program aims to increase the availability of skilled labour by retaining more international students after graduation.   The three-year program has been funded by a joint investment of $500,000 by Opportunities NB and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).   It is expected that by the end of the program, nine cohorts of 100 international students will participate in the initiative.   #New_Brunswick, #international_students, #ACOA, #International_student_retention (at New Brunswick, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXFL2uLmPm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Indian students to change Canada's educational demographic   More and more international students are coming to study in Canada, most hailing from India. In Canada, the demand for post-college credential programs (PCCs) has skyrocketed in recent years.   According to Statistics Canada's report, PCCs made up 6% of all graduations in 2014. But that number had jumped to over 13% by 2019.   The popularity of PCCs has grown in recent years due to the increase in international students at colleges. In 2019, 67% of PCC graduates were international students, with 53% coming from India.   #Statistics_Canada, #international_students, #Indian_students, #statistics (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOb1OeOVHP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Canada acknowledges racism within its immigration system and pledges to improve African international students' experience Systemic racism is present in Canada, and more must be done to end it. African students should not face unfair selection criteria when applying for study permits, but unfortunately, they often do. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) acknowledged the problems in response to a House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration report. IRCC acknowledged there is racism in Canada along with within the organization itself and concurred that more needs to be done concerning racial bias and discrimination as it pertains to organizational policies, programs, functions, and processing. #IRCC, #racism, #international_students, #African_students, #Standing_Committee   (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5gE58uaCV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MPNP clarified conditions regarding the IRCC’s recent policy on lifting the limit on off-campus work hours for international students On October 7, 2022, the Government of Manitoba clarified the new temporary policy introduced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The provincial government defined that the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) criteria for qualifying work in Manitoba has not changed. Only those with a work permit from IRCC are eligible to apply to the MPNP's Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway. The MPNP does not accept periods of employment when students are engaged in full-time study as they do not hold a work permit. Qualifying work experience in Manitoba includes work completed with a valid post-graduation work permit or another work permit. #IRCC, #MPNP, #SWM, #international_students, #Work_permit, #off_campus_work https://ca.news.yahoo.com/liberals-temporarily-lift-limit-off-143902788.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/international-student-lift-work-limit-1.6609550 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/international-students-to-help-address-canadas-labour-shortage.html (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjk6kqUOckL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
