Do you have a Work Permit in Canada? Then keep an eye on your email!
This Wednesday, September 9, IRCC officially announced a new temporary measure for workers who are already in Canada.
Under the new policy, eligible Work Permit holders will be able to study for up to 6 months without having to apply for a Study Permit.
IRCC also announced that it will begin notifying eligible workers by email this week. The goal is to make it easier for temporary workers to access short-term courses, training, education, and professional qualifications while continuing to work in Canada.
The authorization will be valid for up to 6 months or until the Work Permit expires, whichever comes first. The measure will remain in effect until December 31, 2027.
PS: Important: IRCC also clarified that full-time studies will still require a Study Permit, okay? In addition, this measure does not create a new pathway to come to Canada. In other words, it is intended for eligible temporary workers who are already in the country.
