Canada’s new pathway to residency for international graduates has reached its 40,000 application limit, just over one day after going live. 

Canada has announced a pathway to permanent residence for some 40,000 international graduates of Canadian institutions, as the government seeks to retain the talented workers it needs.

Indian students hoping to study at Québec colleges have held protests demanding Canadian authorities speed up the processing of their visa applications.

International students completing their entire Canadian higher education program online from abroad will still be eligible for a post-graduation work permit, the Canadian government has announced.

International students seeking to study in Québec say they are facing stress and mental health problems as a result of extreme delays in study visa processing.

International students are facing serious mental health problems after waiting for almost a year for their Canadian study permits to be processed.

Canada will allow former international students with post-graduation work permits to apply for open work permits after Covid-19 "jeopardised" opportunities for them to gain the work experience needed for permanent residence applications.

International students are able to travel to Canada to study on courses that are less than six months long, despite documentation saying they cannot.
