Changes for International Students - starting today!

In point form, these changes mean:

- There is a two-year cap on international student permits, reducing approvals to 360,000 in 2024 (35% decrease).
- Provincial caps established, weighted by population, to address unsustainable growth.
- Exemptions for study permit renewals, master’s/doctoral programs, elementary/secondary education, and current permit holders.
- IRCC allocates cap quotas to provinces/territories, requiring attestation letters for applications from January 22, 2024.
- Temporary measures reassessed in 2025; collaboration with provinces, territories, and stakeholders for sustainable solutions.
- Changes to (PGWP) Post-Graduation Work Permit Program eligibility, excluding curriculum licensing arrangement students from September 1, 2024.
- Graduates of master’s and short graduate-level programs eligible for a 3-year work permit.
- Spousal open work permits limited to master’s and doctoral programs.

These measures align with recent reforms, ensuring genuine students receive support and stabilizing student numbers for a positive study experience in Canada.

UGH!!!! A Strike!!

Canadian immigration workers are among the 155,000 on strike as of midnight tonight. The PSAC - AFPC announced this general strike may be the largest in Canadian history. Other departments affected include: Canada Revenue Agency employment insurance, Canadian Passport Office Border and administrative staff. Let's hope this doesn't last long.

We all depend on and appreciate the significant roles PSAC - AFPC provides. And of course, that inclues my clients.

Please expect slowdowns if not shutdowns until a deal is made between the PSAC - AFPC and the Federal government of Canada.

If your issue is urgent please call us directly.

I asked ChatGPT a very important question:

"Will AI (artificial intelligence) dominate the industry of immigration or will humans continue to benefit?"

The response is below.

What are your thoughts??

******

While AI technology has made significant advancements in recent years, it is unlikely that AI will completely dominate the immigration industry in the near future. Immigration is a complex and sensitive process that involves many different factors, including legal regulations, individual circumstances, and cultural and social considerations. Therefore, human expertise, judgment, and empathy are essential for providing effective and ethical immigration services.

However, AI can certainly play a significant role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of certain aspects of the immigration process, such as document processing, data analysis, and risk assessment. AI-powered tools can also help immigration consultants and lawyers to manage large amounts of data and provide better insights into immigration trends and policies.

In addition, AI can help improve the accessibility and affordability of immigration services, particularly for those who may not have the resources to hire a human immigration consultant or lawyer. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can provide basic information and guidance to individuals who are seeking immigration information and assistance.

Overall, the most likely scenario is that AI will continue to complement human expertise and help to streamline and improve certain aspects of the immigration process, but human immigration consultants and lawyers will remain essential for providing personalized and ethical immigration services.

When you buy a phone, you check the reviews and test it before you leave the store. When you buy fruits and vegetables, you take it in your hand and smell the freshness before selecting it. Why wouldn't you check the Immigration Consultant's credentials before trusting them with your immigration matters?

Beware of the "ghost" consultant!

A lot of people want to get into Canada, but they don't want to do the work themselves. They're looking for someone else who will do it for them.

So what do they do? They hire a "ghost" consultant (unauthorized consultant) — someone who isn't legally qualified to handle these cases, who takes their money without doing anything for them.

If you're looking for help with immigration services, make sure you ask around before you pay any money!
