The federal government has announced a temporary two-year national cap on study permits. For 2024, the government plans to issue approximately 360,000 new study permits. That is a 35 per cent decrease from 2023. We are still waiting to hear from our provincial government about how study permits will be distributed in Ontario and how it will impact Canadore College.
In addition to the cap, international students applying for a Study Permit must provide an attestation letter from the province. See FAQ below.
We share your concerns about the short timelines these changes may pose, and we are committed to putting you, our students, first. We see our international students as vital and valued participants in our classrooms, communities, and economy.
Your well-being and continued success remain our top priority. Please note our International Office at College Drive is open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm in room C210 and at Commerce Court in room E101 Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm.
We thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate through this process.
