On January 22, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provided an update on study permits (or student visas) and Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWPs) for international students.

Seneca Polytechnic is working with the federal and provincial governments to understand how these changes will affect our students. We are here to support you and have prepared Frequently Asked Questions based on what we know so far. More information will be added as it becomes available.

You can also register for our Ask Us Webinars or contact us with any questions.

Applications for January 2025 are now open
