New Changes to Canada study visa to pursue pathway programs
On July 13, 2016, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC,
formerly CIC) changed its processing guidelines for certain study
permit applications for pathway programs. Under the new procedure, visa
officers are instructed to issue a Canadian study permit only for the period of
the student’s prerequisite studies, which may be a language course. If and
when the student successfully completes these studies, he or she then must
apply for a further study permit to cover the period of his or her planned
post-secondary academic or technical program. These guidelines are a
departure from the previous practice, which saw visa officers issue a single
study permit for the entire duration of both programs.
A typical pathway program route would involve students from abroad
enrolling in a language course in Canada for a period under one year. This
prerequisite course may be designed to help students reach the English or
French language requirements of the main Designated Learning Institution
(DLI), which may be a university or college.
Take, for example, an international student who wishes to do a post-
secondary degree in Canada. After some research, she identifies the course
she wishes to enroll in, but in order to gain admission, she needs to prove
her linguistic competence, usually through a test like IELTS or CAEL. Often,
a language course is required in order to attain the target level. So the
student identifies a language school in Canada that can help her achieve her
academic goals. Previously for such a scenario, a single study permit was
issued for both the language school portion and the subsequent degree
portion of the student’s time spent studying in Canada. With the change,
however, only a single permit will be issued for the prerequisite course.
