加拿大移民局最近改革的動作非常的頻繁。在技術移民和投資移民上都已經進行了大刀闊斧的改革了。這次，“刀”伸向了留學政策。此次改革從20xx年x月x號 開始實施，其中包括八項大的變化。
注意：這次改革主要針對來了加拿大卻不想學習，以學習名義逗留在加拿大“瀟灑”的留學生。
八項改革包括：
1.新政：Applicants must enrol in and continue to pursue studies in Canada. Failure to do so could lead to removal from Canada.留學生在逗留加拿大期間，必須要在校學習，不然會被驅逐出境。
現政：Applicants must show that they intend to pursue studies in Canada when applying for a study permit.留學生只要表明留學意向就可以申請學籤。
分析：說此舉防止留學生在登陸以後，不去學校報道，或者直接去打黑工的。加拿大移民局在學生簽證的過程中，對學生在登陸加拿大以後，是否真以讀書為目的會有更為嚴格的稽核。如果不好好讀書，加拿大移民局會很生氣，後果會很嚴重，驅逐出境。
2.新政：Study permits will only be issued to successful applicants who are pursuing studies at an educational institution that has been designated to receive international students.學籤僅發給加國具有招收國際學生資格學校的留學生。
現政：Applicants may apply for a study permit to pursue studies at any educational institution in Canada.學籤可以發給在加國任何教育機構受教育的留學生。
分析：這條是旨在保護留學生，防止他們誤入不具備國際學生招收資格的學校，或者“野雞學校”。
3.新政：Study permits will automatically authorize the holder to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic session and full-time during scheduled breaks without the need to apply for a separate work permit. The study permit holder must be pursuing academic, vocational or professional training of six months or more that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate at a designated institution.基本上，受高等教育的全日制學生在學滿六個月以後，就可以拿著學籤去打工。即，學籤=工籤。但是工作時間每週不能超過20小時。
現政：Study permit holders pursuing studies at publicly-funded and certain privately-funded post-secondary institutions must apply for an Off-Campus Work Permit to be able to work up to 20 hours per week off-campus during the academic session and full-time during scheduled breaks.留學生如果想打工，必須申請“校外打工許可”。
分析：這一條是實實在在方便在校學生的。想打工的學生不需要再花時間申請“校外打工許可”（off campus work permit）。省錢省時間，至少省了150加幣和1個月的時間。
4.新政：Only international students who are pursuing studies at a secondary school or at a designated institution may apply for a Co-Op Work Permit if a co-op placement is an integral part of their course of study.學生只有在加國高等教育院校或者指定院校就讀Co-op專案，才能被獲得工作許可。
現政：Any international student can apply for a Co-Op Work Permit if a co-op placement is an integral element of their course of study.學生在加國院校就讀Co-op專案，就能被頒發工作許可。
分析：此舉同第二條，防止學生去了“野雞co-op專案”。很多學校專業打著“co-op”的.幌子招收學生，再加上留學機構的鼓吹，學生非co-op的專案不申請，甚至寧可去野雞co-op專案。此舉是政府為了規範當地教育市場，幫助留學生能更好的到加國受教育。加國的理念是，優質專案培育出來的優質學生才能為加拿大的發展做出更大的貢獻，才能傳播加拿大教育的口碑。
5.新政：Visitors may apply for a study permit from within Canada if they are at the pre-school, primary or secondary level, are on an academic exchange or a visiting student at a designated learning institution, or have completed a course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated learning institution.交換生和訪問生可以在加拿大進內申請學籤。
現政：Visitors may not apply for a study permit from within Canada交換生和訪問生不可以在加拿大進內申請學籤。
分析：此舉是方便交換生和訪問生延長在加國境內逗留時間，更好的完成交換和訪問專案。
6.新政：A study permit becomes invalid 90 days following the completion of studies unless the foreign national also possesses a valid work permit or another authorization to remain in Canada.學生畢業後，學籤的有效期只有90天。除非轉工籤或者其他合法途徑，否則無法繼續合法逗留在加國。
現政：International students who have completed their studies but hold valid study permits can remain legally in Canada until the expiration of their study permit.只要在學簽過期之前，學生都可以合法逗留在加拿大。
分析：比如，一位留學生的學籤是到9月，然而他在1月就畢業了。他可以在學簽過期之前不申請工籤，而合法的逗留在加國，無所事事到9月再申請工籤。新規定出臺後，他必須在4月之前拿到工籤。同樣，如果王蒙想在畢業以後再讀一個專案，他必須在4月之前進入專案讀書。此舉是旨在加快學生學籤轉工籤，或者加快學生教育程序。防止畢業生在加拿大無謂的逗留。
7.新政：Registered Indians who are also foreign nationals may study in Canada without a study permit as they have the right of entry into Canada.沒有加國國籍的原住民可以不用申請學籤就可以在加國學習。
現政：There are no references in existing regulations that clearly state that Registered Indians who are also foreign nationals are exempt from the requirement to obtain a study permit.沒有說明原住民是否需要學籤才能進入加拿大學習。
分析：這個跟中國學生基本沒有關係，也沒有任何影響。加拿大有很多原住民，即土著，或者印第安人。他們可能獲得了他國國籍而放棄了加拿大身份。他們回加國讀書就不需要簽證。體現政府對原住民的特殊優待。
8.新政：Eligible international graduates will be authorized to work full-time after their studies are completed until a decision is made on their application for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.留學生在申請了畢業工籤，但工籤沒有被批下來之前，就可以在加拿大合法工作。
現政：Study permit holders are not authorized to work after the completion of their studies while awaiting approval of their Post-Graduation Work Permit。留學生必須拿到畢業工籤才能在加拿大合法工作。
分析：從申請到拿到畢業工籤，需要一定時間。期間就算學生找到了工作也無法合法工作。用人單位如果無法等待，他們會把工作機會給可以立刻工作的人。留學生只能眼睜睜的看著工作從自己身邊溜走。這個改革是對留學生也是一個大大的方便。
