New Strict International Student Program Regulations Take Effect After Trudeau Govt Created Chaos

  • By Desibuzzbc
  • November 18, 2024

The Justin Trudeau government was forced to take actions to restrictions to the chaotic immigration program they brought in and ran for the last few years that saw hundreds of thousands of students, largely from India, were added to Canada’s population, creating absolute disaster in housing, crime and other infrastructure because such an influx was not sustainable. The disastrous experiment also brought new dangers from India in the form of criminals using the system to get entry into Canada and then turn to crimes of extortion, theft, threats and murder of Canadian Sikhs at the behest of the Indian government with orders to kill separatist Sikhs right from Amit Shah, the most senior minister in the Narendra Modi government, a person who has the real power in India. The Trudeau government said this week that International Student Program must be sustainable, and students must be protected from abuse within the system.

 OTTAWA—The Justin Trudeau government was forced to take actions to restrictions to the chaotic immigration program they brought in and ran for the last few years that saw hundreds of thousands of students, largely from India, were added to Canada’s population, creating absolute disaster in housing, crime and other infrastructure because such an influx was not sustainable.

The disastrous experiment also brought new dangers from India in the form of criminals using the system to get entry into Canada and then turn to crimes of extortion, theft, threats and murder of Canadian Sikhs at the behest of the Indian government with orders to kill separatist Sikhs right from Amit Shah, the most senior minister in the Narendra Modi government, a person who has the real power in India.

The Trudeau government said this week that International Student Program must be sustainable, and students must be protected from abuse within the system.

“Over the past year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has taken significant steps to ensure the sustainability of the International Student Program by rooting out fraud and protecting students from bad actors and financial vulnerability. As announced in our 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada’s temporary resident population will decrease over the next few years to align with our long-­term economic goals and strengthen the integrity and quality of our temporary resident programs,” the government said in a press release.

Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, confirmed Friday that new regulations impacting the International Student Program have now taken effect, including the change to the number of hours international students may work off campus that was proposed earlier this year. With this change, eligible students can now work up to 24 hours per week off campus while their classes are in session.

“By fixing the off-campus work limit to 24 hours per week, we’re striking the right balance between providing work opportunities and helping students stay focused on their education. We also expect institutions to support our efforts to preserve the integrity of the International Student Program. International students should have a positive, successful experience in Canada, and the important changes made today will help with that,” Miller said.

Miller said moving forward, international students must apply and be approved for a new study permit before changing learning institutions. This change is in line with the important work we have been doing to strengthen the integrity of the International Student Program.

Designated learning institutions (DLIs) play an important role in protecting the student program against misuse. Since 2015, IRCC has been working with DLIs to strengthen student compliance reporting. There will now be consequences for DLIs that fail to submit compliance reports or verify acceptance letters. With this change, a DLI could be suspended from welcoming new international students for up to a year for failing to provide the required information.

These improvements will provide greater oversight while supporting international students and safeguarding their academic experiences in Canada.

 Quick facts:

To work off campus without a work permit, international students must be studying full-time in a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program, or a vocational training program at the secondary level offered in Quebec, that lasts at least six months and leads to a degree, diploma or certificate.

International students who are eligible to work off campus may work full-time during breaks in their academic calendar, such as the summer break between school years or the winter break between semesters.

Twice a year, designated learning institutions are expected to submit a report to IRCC that indicates whether each study permit holder associated with their school has remained enrolled. Students who are no longer enrolled can be investigated and face enforcement action, as they may be breaking their study permit conditions.

Designated learning institutions in Quebec have not, to date, participated in student compliance reporting. It will take Quebec and IRCC some time to set up this reporting system for Quebec DLIs. As such, Quebec DLIs have a grace period before they are required to comply with the compliance reporting requirement.

The new letter of acceptance (LOA) verification process has been a success. Since its launch on December 1, 2023, through October 6, 2024, IRCC has

received almost 529,000 LOAs for verification

confirmed nearly 492,000 LOAs as valid directly with designated learning institutions (DLIs)

identified more than 17,000 LOAs that either didn’t match any LOA issued by a DLI or that the DLI had already cancelled before the individual applied for a study permit.
