These are the basic reasons on why the decision as taken to limit the students who intend to <a href="https://www.studyabroad.pk/guides/study-in-canada" target="_blank">study abroad in Canada</a>. Moreover, it was also noted that in order to boost income, some universities have increased admissions, which has resulted in an increase in the number of students entering Canada without the necessary resources.

		From 1st September 2024 post-graduation work permit will no longer be available for international students who enroll in a program that is a part of a curriculum licensing arrangement (where a private college has been licensed to deliver the curriculum of an associated public college) .</li>
	<li style="line-height: 1.295; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
		The partners of international students in other levels of study such as undergraduate programs and other college programs, will not be eligible.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>
		The government says that graduates of master and other short graduate-level programs&quot; will have the opportunity to apply for a three-year work permit very soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>
		International master&#39;s and doctorate program spouses will also be eligible for open work permits. 
		&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

	After these implementations,&nbsp; the government will welcome the future international students by letting them know that they are getting the resources they need and will return to their homes safely without any disappointment.

	Yes and No. If you are applying for masters or postgrad degrees, then you don&#39;t come under the jurisdiction of the law. However, for students pursuing undergraduate degree, there will be stricter visa regulation in place this time becuase of the limit on the number of visas that embassy can issue for study in Canada.
