Students who wish to study abroad should be prepared for longer visa application processing times. When compared to other years, visa processing delays have made international students and
agents submit applications much earlier. Like Australia, the UK, and the US, Canada also experienced immigration processing delays during the pandemic, doubling the backlog. That enormous
number comprises those who have applied for permanent residency, temporary residence, or citizenship, as well as international students and graduates. Despite the slow processing times of
student visas, these study abroad destinations are seeing a resurgence in international enrolment.

Immigration Minister issued a statement regarding the Citizenship Week
On May 23, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), issued a statement to mark the start of Citizenship Week. He celebrated the Citizenship
Week of Canadians. This year, Canada marked the 75th anniversary of the first Canadian Citizenship Act, which was then replaced with the Citizenship Act in 1977. It was a monumental
moment in Canadian history that shaped the identity all Canadians share nowadays. The Minister encouraged all Canadians to take part in building a strong, inclusive and prosperous Canada.

Students from outside of Quebec who study in French-language institutions outside of the Greater Montreal area will enjoy a significant discount on tuition fees by paying the same amount as
Quebeckers. That is a difference of around $21,000 in tuition per student each year, with Quebec international students' average tuition plummeting from $24,000 to $3,000 for every school year.
Under a plan to attract foreign students to Quebec's outlying areas, Immigration Minister Jean Boulet announced that qualified international students would be permitted to work up to 20 hours per week under the program.

The Canadian government is proposing changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) in order to keep out Russians targeted by Canada, including President Vladimir Putin and
his close associates. Canada has already targeted over 1,000 individuals from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Canada has also targeted individuals connected to or who assist the Russian
administration. These sanctions were issued on the grounds of a "grave breach of international peace and security," as provided for in Canada's Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA).
