  Canada Ends Temporary Public Policy for Visitor-to-Work Permit Applications In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced a temporary public policy in August 2020. This policy allowed visitors in Canada to apply for a work permit without having to leave the country. The goal was to support individuals who were unable to depart Canada due to travel restrictions.

Visitor-to-Work Permit:  Visitors in Canada could apply for a work permit without exiting the country. This allowed them to transition from a visitor status to a worker status, enabling them to work legally in Canada. 2. Bridging Work Permit: Foreign nationals who had held a work permit in the previous 12 months and changed their status to "visitor" in Canada could apply for a bridging work permit.

What This Means for International Students For many overseas students who frequently combine their academic obligations with part-time jobs to sustain themselves financially, the rise in work hours is a welcome change. Students will have greater opportunities to earn money, obtain work experience, and assimilate into the Australian culture with the new 48-hour workweek limit. Enhanced Financial Stability The main advantage of this policy reform is that it will give international students more financial stability. The extra eight hours every two weeks can make a big difference in

The UK's Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has recently recommended that the country retain its two-year post-study work Graduate Route visa. This recommendation is a significant relief for international students and graduates, offering them a clearer path to build their careers in the UK. Why the Graduate Route Matters The Graduate Route visa allows international students who have completed a degree in the UK to stay for an additional two years (or three years for doctoral graduates) to work or look for work. This route has been crucial for attracting global talent to UK universities, enhancing the country’s academic and professional landscape. Evidence-Driven Decisions "Good to see Prime Minister’s Migration Advisory Committee recommend that the UK keeps the two-year post-study work Graduate Route visa. A clear evidence-led conclusion that should take damaging options right off the table." This comment underscores the importance of basing decisions on solid evidence an
