Canada Allows Foreign Workers to Study Short Courses Without Separate Permit
Canada has introduced a temporary public policy allowing foreign workers with valid work permits to study courses lasting six months or less without needing a separate study permit. Effective from September 4 until December 31, 2027, this measure aims to help workers upgrade skills, obtain credentials, and address labor shortages in sectors like healthcare. The policy applies nationwide, including Quebec, and does not create new visa categories or directly affect pathways to permanent residence.
