据加拿大签证中心的官方公告,自2014年6月1日期起,加拿大学生签证的正式按新规定实行。
新规章1: Applicants must enrol in and continue to pursue studies in Canada. Failure to do so could lead to removal from Canada.
申请者必须在学校注册,并且在去往加拿大之后必须是在学校里学习,否则会被驱逐出境。
新规章2:Study permits will only be issued to successful applicants who are pursuing studies at an educational institution that has been designated to receive international students.
只有去加拿大指定的具有招收国际学生资格的教育机构,才能会颁发学生签证。
新规章3:Study permits will automatically authorize the holder to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic session and full-time during scheduled breaks without the need to apply for a separate work permit. The study permit holder must be pursuing academic, vocational or professional training of six months or more that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate at a designated institution.
获得学生签证的学生,会被自动授予校外工作许可(上课期间每周不超过20小时,放假时可以全职),而不需要另外在申请。允许打工的学生必须是正在接受6个月以上的学习的学生。
新规章4:Only international students who are pursuing studies at a secondary school or at a designated institution may apply for a Co-Op Work Permit if a co-op placement is an integral part of their course of study.
学生只有在加国指定院校申请才能申请Co-Op工作许可。
改革后加强了对申请Co-Op工作许可的要求,只有在指定的学校才能申请Co-Op工作许可。所以学生们如果想去有Co-Op项目的学校,一定要注意去核查该学校是否有资格。
新规章5:Visitors may apply for a study permit from within Canada if they are at the pre-school, primary or secondary level, are on an academic exchange or a visiting student at a designated learning institution, or have completed a course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated learning institution.
交换生和访问生(包括学前、小学和中学)可以在加拿大境内申请学签。
新规章6:A study permit becomes invalid 90 days following the completion of studies unless the foreign national also possesses a valid work permit or another authorization to remain in Canada.
学生毕业后,学签的有效期将自动变成90天。除非转工签或者其他合法途径,否则无法继续合法逗留在加国。
新规章7:Eligible international graduates will be authorized to work full-time after their studies are completed until a decision is made on their application for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
留学生毕业后从申请了毕业工签开始就可以在加拿大合法工作,除非毕业工签被拒了(一般不会)。
