Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued a critical correction to its program delivery instructions regarding study permits for students destined to Quebec.
The update clarifies that Quebec Acceptance Certificates (Certificat d'acceptation du Québec or CAQ) issued before December 6, 2024, not 2025 as previously stated, may be reused when applicants change educational institutions at the same level of study.
This policy adjustment ensures accurate processing of study permit applications and provides clearer guidance for international students and institutional stakeholders navigating Quebec's distinct immigration requirements within Canada's broader study permit framework.

New Brunswick has signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia, marking the first formal healthcare recruitment partnership between Indonesia and a Canadian jurisdiction.
The agreement establishes a framework for recruiting trained nurses and personal support workers from Indonesia to address the province's healthcare workforce shortage.
New Brunswick will provide navigation support, including assistance with foreign qualification recognition and immigration processes. Since 2019, over 1,300 internationally educated nurses have been recruited to work in the province, with expedited pathways developed for nurses trained in 14 countries to become licensed sooner.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced revisions to its standard immigration medical examination procedures on October 16, 2025.
The updated guidelines provide comprehensive protocols for assessing foreign nationals' health conditions, including evaluations for public health risks, public safety concerns, and potential excessive demand on healthcare services.
Key components of the routine examination include medical history reviews, physical and mental examinations, and age-specific diagnostic tests such as chest X-rays for individuals aged 11 and older, as well as syphilis and HIV screening for those 15 and above.
The updated framework establishes clear assessment criteria while maintaining exemptions for certain family members and protected persons from excessive demand evaluations.
