由于本次新冠疫情造成多国实施旅行限制或调减航班,使得一些学生无法前往加拿大,不得不选择远程网课的形式进行学业,但是却担心这样的授课方式将会影响到以后毕业工签的申请。近期移民部更新了针对这类情况的公告:
If your in-class courses are being moved to an online-only format because of COVID-19, your eligibility for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program won’t be affected. This includes students who have a study permit or who have been approved for a study permit for a program starting in May or June but who are unable to travel to Canada at this time due to travel restrictions. International students in this situation may begin their classes while outside Canada and may complete up to 50% of their program while outside Canada if they cannot travel to Canada sooner.
如受疫情影响需要进行在线学习,即便是人在海外,如果线上学习的课时不超过总课时的50%,该授课形式将不影响最终毕业工签的申请,然而这里需要注意的是,必须是由于疫情原因而改变在线授课形式,且学生因为疫情原因无法抵加,这两点在后期的毕业工签申请中或将需要申请人提供相关证明材料。
