Planning to study in Canada? Don't let financial requirements catch you by surprise.

As of 2026, IRCC has increased the minimum financial resources required for international students applying for a study permit.

💰 Before submitting your application, make sure you can demonstrate:
✔️ First-year tuition fees
✔️ Living expenses (updated 2026 amounts)
✔️ Travel costs to and from Canada
✔️ A clear and legitimate source of funds

📊 This infographic compares the 2025 vs. 2026 financial requirements, including the differences between Quebec and the rest of Canada.

⚠️ Many study permit applications are refused because applicants fail to properly demonstrate their financial capacity—not necessarily because they don't have the money, but because they don't provide the right evidence.

📌 Save this post for future reference and share it with anyone planning to study in Canada.

As of April 27, 2026, WP-EXT letters issued to foreign workers are now valid for 365 days (previously 180 days).

These letters are issued to individuals who apply for a new work permit before the expiry of their current permit and serve as proof of maintained status under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.

Maintained status allows foreign workers to continue working under the same conditions while their application is being processed, provided they remain in Canada.

WP-EXT letters may be used as proof of this status for employers or other authorities. However, they do not grant work authorization on their own.

Important: This change does not apply to Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) applicants. Their WP-EXT letters remain valid for 180 days.

Temporary residents who lose their worker or student status can now restore their status as visitors.

Before this change, they were required to leave Canada and re-enter in order to obtain visitor status.

Canada and the right to seek asylum

Canada recognizes the right of individuals fleeing persecution, violence, or serious human rights violations to seek protection.

Asylum seekers who arrive in Canada have the opportunity to present their case, and their claims are assessed under Canadian and international refugee protection laws.

Canada continues to play an important role in providing protection to people in need while maintaining a fair immigration system 🍁
