As of Sep 1 2024, PGWP will not be available to public-private institution models or curriculum licensing arrangement. What are public private institution models? They are also known as Public-Private Partnerships or PPPs. This is where a public college, partners with a private college so the private college can use the public college’s curriculum under a curriculum license arrangement. And thus by doing so, they enroll international students. Public colleges benefit since they get a cut from the private college, the private colleges benefit since they earn fee from international students which is much more than what they would earn from a local student. And international students kind of benefit as they get to live in bigger cities. But the challenges are often the quality of education.
Minister of immigration referred to some private colleges as similar to “massage parlors in strip malls”, where students instead of studying spend the day driving uber. An example of a PPP in Ontario is St. Lawrence College which is a public college and it partners with a private college called Alpha College of Business and Technology. Another example is Lambton College, and it’s partnership with Queen’s college a private institution in Mississauga a convenient location. Currently these two colleges, and many other private colleges are eligible for a PGWP. But from Sep 1st, graduates of such PPPPs won’t be eligible to apply for a PGWP.
The GPA system in Canada varies depending on the province chosen by the international student. Let’s look at the following provinces and their grading system.
PROVINCES OF CANADA
Alberta is in the ‘prairies’ – like British Columbia, it borders the Rockies and therefore draws hikers and skiers from all over the world (although this could be said for most of Canada). Similar to British Columbia again, Alberta has both metropolitan cities like Edmonton and Calgary, as well as picturesque natural beauties like Banff and Jasper.
British Columbia has both coastline and mountains, which is a big draw for adventurers. It has both big cities (Vancouver) and quaint old towns (Victoria), as well as a thriving wine region!
Manitoba is the polar bear capital of the world, and it’s one of the best places to see the Northern lights. Need we say more?
New Brunswick is very small and very close to the US state of Maine, meaning it has a beautiful coastline and connects to the Appalachian Range.
Newfoundland and Labrador are also relatively small population-wise. It’s known for glaciers and whale-watching, and is another place where it’s possible to see the Northern Lights!
Nova Scotia is small but relatively populous. The province is known for its history, seafood, and wildlife (puffins and seals).
Ontario is the most populated province in Canada. It boasts natural beauties such as Niagara Falls, as well as lakes and forests.
Prince Edward Island is very small in both size and population. It is known for its seafood and as the setting of the novel Anne of Green Gables!
Quebec is primarily French-speaking and has French-influenced culture and history. It is the largest province and second largest in terms of population size. Beautiful old architecture can be found in Montreal and a step back in time to cobbled streets in Old Quebec.
Saskatchewan is landlocked and is known for its rich agricultural industry. The province is known for hunting, fishing, and hiking. The campus of Saskatchewan is considered one of the most beautiful in Canada.
