The much-anticipated update is finally here bringing a ray of clarity to international students aspiring to pursue their higher education in Canada. With the federal government’s announcement related to a temporary cap on study permits earlier this year, it also introduced a significant update to its study permit application process. This latest development comes in the form of Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs). This official document will be issued by Canada’s Provincial or Territorial Government, and it will be a mandatory document for new post-secondary international students commencing their study permit applications beyond January 22, 2024. However, students planning to pursue a master’s or PhD in Canada are exempted from the requirement of having a PAL. Even for students who are already in Canada, you won’t require PAL to renew your study permits. 

Aimed at restructuring and enhancing the application procedure for international students. Let’s know more about PALs ahead in this news.
