The Federal Court’s Study Permit Pilot Project streamlines the review process for rejected student visas, cutting decision times from 18 months to 5 months. Launched on October 1, 2024, this initiative helps international students facing visa refusals resolve their cases quickly and get back on track.
Canada’s immigration filings have hit record highs, with 24,000 cases expected in 2024. The Study Permit Pilot Project was created to streamline judicial reviews, reducing processing times and helping students receive decisions faster. This could save them an entire academic year, allowing them to reapply without long delays.
The Study Permit Pilot Project is part of broader immigration changes, including new PGWP language requirements and a cap on study permits starting November 2024. These updates aim to better align Canada's immigration system with labor market demands, ensuring that international students who remain in Canada can integrate effectively into the workforce.
The Study Permit Pilot Project simplifies the review process by eliminating the need for court hearings. Instead, the Federal Court will render decisions entirely in writing, significantly speeding up the process. For students facing visa rejections, this approach helps resolve cases faster and more efficiently.
For international students, the Study Permit Pilot Project provides a faster, more streamlined solution to address visa rejections, allowing them to continue their studies in Canada without unnecessary delays. This new approach offers peace of mind and ensures that students can remain focused on their academic goals.
