      >”The Immigration Department has finally revealed the fields of study that international students must be enrolled in to qualify for work permits in Canada upon graduation.

      >The 966 eligible academic programs fall into five categories: agriculture and agri-food; health care; science, technology, engineering and mathematics; and trade and transportation.”

      . . .

      >However, effective Nov. 1, all post-graduation work permit applicants from both colleges and universities must pass language tests — level 5 for college grads and level 7 for university grads — under the standard Canadian Language Benchmarks that are less than two years old.

      >

      >According to immigration department data analyzed by ApplyBoard, an online student recruitment platform, 105,030 post-graduation work permits were approved in the first six months of this year, with 64 per cent of them going to international graduates from colleges.

      >

      >**Over the same period, graduates in business studies made up 42 per cent of the work permit recipients** while 37 per cent were in STEM and 16 per cent in computing and IT. **However, just one per cent studied trades.**

      Probably rounded up to get 1%.

      “science” seems like a pretty broad category. make way for hospitality sciences diplomas.

      Nice, no more PGWP for business students. That’s a big one that they liked to take and should free up some managerial and administrative jobs

      So if the language tests are harder.. can they cheat/get someone else to do it?

       966 sounds like a pretty high number still, but I guess I don’t know the amount of programs excluded. Also, I can’t help but be pessimistic and assume that diploma mills will find a way to make some of these courses extremely easy to get into and pass

      So the post-grad “Tim Hortons worker” will at least ensure English/French comprehension or?

      Your reminder that the Liberals hate working class Canadians. The most transparent government making these announcements before the weekend when the least amount of people are paying attention.

    12. warriorlynx on

      We need health care workers give them a PR for all I care the most in demand fields give them work permits the rest no

    13. Minute-Poetry9864 on

      These ‘business’ graduates just end up working front line tim Hortons jobs… this is announcement is terrible

      Entitled international students are already protesting the new rules in Brampton.

      Serious question. I’m not a robot. For clarity here, could international student who finish a two year diploma or a one year certificate (any kind) get a three year post grad work permit? So now this is limited to BA, Masters and above?

    16. josea09 on

      Algoma and Conestoga are already in works for Bachelors in retail and food services.

      Who is the first graduates this will apply to? Which class? Or is it effective today?

    18. OkFix4074 on

      Why the heck do college grads need 5 , universities already have higher entry bar of 6 or 7 in most cases. Colleges should be the same as university. What is the point of it being lower ?

    20. true_to_my_spirit on

      Scroll through any of the programs and you’ll see how schools will easily get around this. Agriculture Business is a perfect example. 

      Also, these changes are for new students after Nov 1st. Current students here are grandfathered in. Unless I’m reading it incorrectly 

    21. irv_12 on

      I’m not sure I particularly like this idea. There’s going to be a low skilled influx in these programs (required programs to get a PGWP), which will cause colleges to ease requirements for graduation (already happening with business certificates/diplomas), which will then cause employers to turn away from most of all college graduates in these fields. As domestic Canadian who is pursuing a career related to an program area that is required for a work permit, I’m worrying for my future career prospects.

      Like all of the “solutions” proposed by Marc Miller so far there are giant and obvious loopholes in his plans. Conestoga College will adapt within a week to get around these fake “restrictions” in programs international students can study and get post-grad work permits.
