Canada Announces New Study Permit Rules for 2026

The Canadian government has announced significant updates to its study permit regulations for 2026. Key changes include revised financial requirements for study permit applications, updates to Designated Learning Institution (DLI) compliance standards, and modifications to the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility criteria. Students applying from India should note that the minimum proof-of-funds requirement has been updated to reflect current living costs. The government is also implementing stricter verification processes for acceptance letters from DLIs. For current applicants, NK Education recommends starting the application process at least 6 months before the intended start date.
