Canada Post Study Permit: Canada is planning to make major changes in the post study work permit scheme. What kind of impact will this have on Indian students, will their problems be easier or will they increase? Let’s find out.
Canada’s Post Study Work Permit Scheme To Change Soon: Canada is planning to make many big changes in the post-study work permit scheme. This can cause a lot of trouble to foreign students settled here, especially Indian students. Canada is going to make the rules stricter, after which it will not be easy for everyone to get a work permit here. Why are these changes being made and what impact will they have on Indian students, know?
What is PGWP?
Before moving ahead, let us know what PGWP is. It means Post Graduation Work Permit. Students pursuing post graduation from here apply for it so that after completing their studies, they can get training in the relevant field. They get the benefit of this experience in their future career.
What is Canada’s plan?
According to the Indian Express report, Canada plans to make the PGWP scheme, which is currently available to all international students, available to only a limited number of students. Candidates should get the opportunity to take advantage of the work permit scheme only in those areas where there is a shortage of workers. This will also enable the candidates to gain experience in their field and they will be able to find workers in the fields where they are not able to find workers.
When can this rule be implemented
Canada is currently considering this rule and a decision in this regard can be taken after consultation with the concerned department. The Immigration Minister will be advised about this in a few days and according to media reports, these changes can be implemented from January 2025.
Duration can be this much
The duration of getting a post graduation work permit will depend on many factors. One of these is the length of the candidate’s study program. According to this, it can be from 8 months to 3 years. After this rule, those Indian students who are enrolled in those courses in which Canada does not have a shortage of workers may face problems.
These candidates will not get the facility
Broadly speaking, by re-aligning this scheme, emphasis is being laid on meeting the needs of the labour market. In such a situation, those candidates who are not from such fields where there is a shortage of workers will have problems in getting work permit. Overall, Canada wants to distribute this facility in such a way that their labour market benefits and the shortage of workers can be met.
