News and policy updates

Short study options for eligible workers: read the September notice

An official notice addresses certain workers already in Canada; it is not a new entry pathway.

Official announcement: · Source reviewed: 2026-11-04

What the notice covers

IRCC announced a targeted measure for eligible work permit holders to study for up to 6 months, or until their permit ends if earlier. Full-time study still requires a study permit. Read the linked measure for all conditions.

Keep study plans separate from points

Before comparing a training plan in the calculator, confirm whether the measure applies to you and check the course and permit instructions. Keep a copy of the notice with your planning notes. Do not assume that taking a course automatically changes your CRS score.
