MORE REASONS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TO CHOOSE CANADA OTTAWA, April 18,
2005—The Honourable Joe Volpe, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, is
pleased to build on the success of Canada’s international study program by
announcing new initiatives to better attract, integrate and retain
international students in regions throughout the country.
In partnership with provinces and territories, Citizenship and Immigration
Canada (CIC) is expanding two pilot initiatives to help make Canada a
destination of choice for international students. The first will allow
international students at public post-secondary institutions to work
off-campus while completing their studies so that they can experience the
Canadian labour market and gain a wider understanding of Canadian society.
The second will allow students to work for two years, rather than one year,
after their graduation. This second initiative will apply outside Montréal,
Toronto and Vancouver to help spread the benefits of immigration to more of
Canada’s regions.
Through past pilot projects and agreements with CIC, some provinces have
already experienced the success of the initiatives, which are now being
expanded throughout Canada. The Government of Canada is investing $10
million a year for five years to support this announcement.
“We have been listening to our stakeholders and are certain that these
initiatives will help increase the global competitiveness of Canada by
attracting and retaining more international students to our schools,”said
Minister Volpe.“International Students who choose to stay in Canada after
they graduate greatly contribute to our labour market. It is important that
they be exposed to the Canadian work force at an early stage to increase
their chances of success following graduation.”
“Whether they choose to stay in Canada or return to their home country,
they will have acquired Canadian experience and values that will enrich
their lives. They will also spread the word about the quality of education
Canada has to offer,”added the Minister.
CIC has also made other adjustments to its international study program.
For example:Post-secondary international students can now transfer between
programs of study and institutions without applying for a change to the
conditions of their study permit.
Secondary-level international students can now obtain longer high-school
study permits. As of May 16, 2005, international students who meet the
eligibility criteria for a second year of post-graduation employment will be
issued a two-year work permit. For these students, the two-year work permit
will only be valid for one year since they will have already completed their
first year of post-graduate work.
As with existing pilot projects, the off-campus work initiative will be
implemented bilaterally in each province and territory, following agreements
with CIC.For more information on today’s announcement or on how to obtain a
permit to study in Canada, please visit CIC’s Web site at www.cic.gc.ca.
