CAInternational students take note: Canada has just changed the rules for study permits when enrolling in prerequisite courses. 📘🛂
As of February 19, 2026, students conditionally accepted to longer programs must now complete prerequisite courses (like ESL) and apply for a new study permit from within Canada—under a shortened 90-day window.
Key takeaways:
• Study permits now issued for prerequisite length + 90 days only
• Students must apply for a new permit before the 90 days expire
• Maintained status allows continued study while waiting
• Even if prerequisites are under 6 months, a study permit is recommended
