Changes to Canada's post study work permit scheme 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 more strict, after which it will not be easy for everyone to get a work permit here. Know why these changes are being made and what will be their impact on Indian students?
What is a PGWP?
Before proceeding further, let us know what PGWP is. It means Post Graduation Work Permit. Students doing post graduation from here apply for it so that after completing their studies, they can get training in the relevant field. They can benefit from this experience in their future career.
What is Canada's plan?
According to the Indian Express report, Canada plans to make the PGWP scheme available to a limited number of students, which is currently available to all international students. Candidates should get the opportunity to avail the work permit scheme only in those areas where there is a shortage of workers. This will also give the candidates experience in their field and they will be able to find workers in those areas where they are unable to find workers.
When can this rule apply
Canada is currently considering this rule and a decision 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.
The duration can be as much as
The duration of getting a post graduation work permit will depend on many factors. One of these is the duration of the candidate's study program. Accordingly, it can range from 8 months to 3 years. This rule may cause problems for those Indian students who enroll in courses for which Canada has no shortage of workers.
These candidates will not get the facility
Broadly speaking, the emphasis is being laid on meeting the needs of the labour market by implementing this scheme afresh. In such a situation, those candidates who are not from areas where there is a shortage of workers will have difficulty in getting a work permit. Overall, Canada wants to distribute this facility in such a way that benefits their labour market and meets the shortage of workers.
