Visa delays put Canada’s competitiveness at risk Navigating the visa application process has become increasingly difficult for Canadian educators, foreign students, and partners alike. Canadian immigration officials are increasing staff and working to reduce processing times. However, the significant backlog has caused some students to delay their program start dates this year. In a related matter, the Canadian government has extended its COVID-era policy that permits students to complete up to 100 percent of their studies online and still obtain a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, this policy will remain unchanged until August 31, 2023. Consequently, students studying online or who have submitted a study permit application before that date will still be eligible for a PGWP. #IRCC, #PGWP, #study_permit, #immigration_backlog, #COVID_19 https://monitor.icef.com/2022/09/continuing-visa-delays-putting-canadas-competitiveness-at-risk (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiSgvd9udnn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IRCC discussed the study permit backlog at a symposium     Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reported a dramatic increase in demand for study permits from foreign students.   The sudden surge in applications for study permits was a topic of conversation at a recent virtual symposium organized by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CIBE).   IRCC officials were on hand to discuss the number of applications they have received as students return to classrooms in Canada after completing online programs abroad.   As of July 17, almost 200,000 people were waiting for their study permit application to be completed.   #IRCC, #Study_permit, #international_student, #CIBE, #backlog (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKd4IWOOJo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A mismatch between the Federal Court and the Government of Canada   An applicant from Nigeria who applied for a study permit to pursue higher education in Canada got rejected for not providing sufficient funds to cover all four years   of study. The Federal Court of Canada found this decision reasonable and disagreed with the applicant that his financial statements contradicted the visa officer’s   decision. While the Government of Canada’s website clearly points out that “students are required to demonstrate financial sufficiency for only the first year of   studies, regardless of the duration of the course or program of studies in which they are enrolled,” it is not known how this decision did not breach the Applicant’s   rights to procedural fairness.   #Federal_Court, #international_students, #Nigeria, #study_permit (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTksKdLQ7S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nigerian and other African students have a notably high rate of study permit rejections The African Scholars Initiative (ASI-Canada), has presented a report to Canada’s House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration regarding the higher rates of study permit rejections for students from African countries. Even though Nigeria is one of Canada’s top source countries for international students, holds a top 30 global ranking, and has English as an official language, Nigerian and other African students are systematically being discriminated against and having their study permits rejected by Canadian immigration officers with a notably high rate. #Nigeria, #study_permit, #African_Countries, #discrimination, #visa_refusal https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20190918083843313 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5ZDB2LGIO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
