The Canadian government has provided more guidance for international students studying online from outside Canada.

Students in this position can now accumulate time towards the length of a post-graduation work permit beginning from when they apply for a study permit.

If students applied for study permits prior to starting their programs, any online study time from outside Canada since spring 2020 counts toward their post-graduation work permit. Previously, only time spent studying online after approval was counted.

International students can also complete 100 per cent of their programs online if the program is between 8 and 12 months in length and they started their studies between May and September 2020.
