🍁IELTS takers no longer need a minimum of 6 bands for Individual sections to study in Canada.🍁 ✅Starting from August 10th, applicants taking the IELTS test through Canada's Student Direct Stream (SDS) for study permits will no longer be required to achieve a minimum score of 6.0 bands in each section. This change to the IELTS requirement has been implemented by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to streamline the application process for aspiring students. IDP Education's Regional Director, Piyush Kumar, expressed delight in the recent decision, stating that IELTS Academic test takers applying through the SDS program will now only need to achieve an overall 6 band score, with no specific minimum score required in each section. . .

✅The IRCC has proposed changes requiring international students in Canada to apply for a new study permit if they switch Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). This policy aims to enhance compliance and reduce fraud, as DLIs are currently under provincial jurisdiction. While students can attend the new DLI while their application is processed, the change introduces a $150 fee and added administrative burdens, estimated to cost $55.5 million over ten years. DLIs will face compliance costs of $4.8 million. The proposed changes are under consultation until July 29, 2024. . Source: www.cicnews.com . .

✅Canada has outlined its plan to limit study permits issued to international students, setting a cap of 485,000 approved permits for 2024. Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced the Net Zero First Year Growth Model, aiming to stabilize post-secondary student intake. The cap is based on expiring permits, accounting for a 20% extension rate, resulting in a target of 364,000 permits. With a 60% approval rate, this translates to an anticipated 606,000 applications. Exemptions include primary/secondary students and advanced degree seekers, leading to a final target of 236,000 permits. Miller stressed collaboration with provinces for international student support. Source: www.economictimes.indiatimes.com .

✅IRCC has disclosed the allocation of study permits for 2024, distributed among Canadian provinces based on their populations. To prevent disparities, adjustments were made: provinces with potential decreases had caps, while those with low approval rates were supplemented. Ontario secures the largest share at 235,000 permits, with Quebec following at 117,917. British Columbia announced 83,000 permits in March, while Alberta's allocation capped at 10% of its population, resulting in 40,894 permits. Nova Scotia received a boost, totaling 20,378 permits. Most of Ontario's permits will go to public institutions, limiting opportunities for private ones. Source: www.cicnews.com .

✅Ontario government allocates 96% of its international study permit applications to public colleges and universities, in response to a federal cap on permits imposed to manage foreign student intake. Private career colleges are excluded from receiving any applications. This move aims to prioritize publicly funded institutions amidst concerns over rapid growth in international student numbers. Ontario, with a significant share of foreign students, is adapting to the cap set by the federal government. The decision reflects efforts to address strains on housing and healthcare, as well as concerns about the quality of education provided by some private institutions. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com .

✅Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller discloses that approximately 292,000 study permits for international college and undergraduate students will be approved in 2024, following the recent intake cap imposed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The cap, aiming to address "unsustainable growth," reduces study permit approvals by 35% over two years. While the Minister clarifies that he can only cap applications, not actual visa issuances, there is a discrepancy between the reported 292,000 permits and IRCC's earlier estimate of 360,000 approvals. The cap-exempt study permits were included in the initial estimate, impacting the overall figures. Source: www.cicnews.com . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.

✅TIndian students' applications for study permits in Canada have decreased by more than 40% since July 2023; during that time, 60,000 fewer visas have been granted than during the same period in 2022. ApplyBoard attributes this decline to a rise in international students' social media posts regarding difficulties they are having in Canada, particularly with regard to the high cost of living. For Indian students, the approval rate for study permits has increased despite a decrease in the number of applications filed. Canada is working to lower living expenses by implementing a number of initiatives, such as an affordability plan and modifying the cost-of-living requirement for those applying for study permits. ApplyBoard estimates that between 200,000 and 210,000 Indian students might be granted admission to Canadian universities in 2023, preserving a varied pool of international applicants. . .

👉The Canadian government will double the amount of money that international students need to live on, starting January 1, 2024. It will go from $10,000 to $20,635 a year. The goal is to give incoming students a more accurate picture of how much it costs to live in Canada so that they don't have to worry about money. The difference between the amount of money that is available and the real cost of living is fixed by the increase, which is the first since the early 2000s. Because international students help the Canadian economy a lot, these changes are meant to improve support, stop abuse, and make studying abroad a better experience.✅ . . #InternationalStudents #StudyPermits #EducationChanges #GlobalLearning #CanadianEducation #StudentVisas2024 #HigherEducation #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
