Canada's recent policy updates in support of international students during the coronavirus pandemic.
Currently, students can study online from abroad until April 30, 2021, without affecting their eligibility or the duration of a future post-graduation work permit. There is however one condition: they must be able to complete at least 50 per cent of their program in Canada.
In addition, students who are enrolled in 8- to 12-month programs that began in the spring, summer or fall (May-September) semesters of 2020 will be able to apply for a post-graduation work permit even if they complete their entire program abroad.
