IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE PROTECTION ACT

Notice requesting comments on a proposal to introduce new requirements and conditions for foreign nationals who seek to study in Canada

Summary

Notice is hereby given that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is seeking written comments from all interested parties on a proposal to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations to introduce new requirements and conditions on foreign nationals who seek to study in Canada. The proposed measures would apply principally to foreign nationals who enter Canada temporarily under a study permit.

The proposed regulatory amendments are intended to ensure that foreign nationals who obtain study permits enter Canada for the primary purpose of study. CIC seeks to deter foreign nationals from applying for a study permit if their intentions are disingenuous, and prevent foreign nationals from remaining legally in Canada on a study permit should they abandon their studies. These measures are also intended to ensure foreign nationals who hold study permits are studying at educational institutions eligible to host international students.

These regulatory amendments would support the Government of Canada in improving the integrity of Canada’s immigration system, enhance accountability both to international students and Canadians, and improve Canada’s reputation as a destination of choice for studies abroad.

Background

Compared to its key competitors for international students, Canada is the only country that has not put in place an International Student Program integrity framework that requires international students to pursue study after entry, and that limits the types of educational institutions that are eligible to host international students. The number of international students choosing Canada as a study destination has been on the rise in recent years. In 2011, 98 378 international students entered Canada, an increase of 34% since 2007. A 2010 study commissioned by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada found international students contributed more than $6.5 billion to the Canadian economy in 2008. Despite these successes, the International Student Program continues to be vulnerable to fraud and abuse from those who would exploit either study permit holders or the program itself for personal gain. An evaluation of the International Student Program released by CIC in 2010 concluded that gaps in the Department’s regulatory and policy framework leave the International Student Program vulnerable to potential misuse.

Currently, study permits can be issued to students attending any type of educational institution, regardless of whether it is accredited, or regulated or overseen by a provincial/territorial ministry of education, or accountable to a recognized standard-setting body. As a result, the educational institutions that currently host international students vary widely in terms of quality and accountability. In some cases, these institutions take advantage of international students by offering sub-par education, or promise courses or programs of study that they are unauthorized or unequipped to deliver. Such activities hurt Canada’s international reputation amongst prospective international students and may discourage them from choosing Canada as their destination for studies abroad.

Under current regulations, study permit holders are not required to pursue study after they arrive in Canada. While foreign nationals must meet certain regulatory requirements in order to be eligible for a study permit, a prospective international student must only demonstrate the intent to study in Canada. In other words, there is no requirement for international students to actually enrol in or pursue a program of study at a Canadian educational institution after arrival. Those foreign nationals who hold a valid study permit but who fail to enrol or pursue their course of study cannot therefore be reported under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and can remain legally in Canada until the expiration of their study permit. Additionally, while current regulations allow genuine students to access limited work opportunities during studies under international student work permit programs (On-Campus, Off-Campus and Co-op/Internship Programs), in some cases, disingenuous study permit holders use their study permit as a primary means to gain full access to the Canadian labour market. Further, some study permit holders in Canada who fail to study after arrival in Canada may have more unscrupulous intentions, including engaging in illegal work and/or criminal activity.

Description

The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to signal an intention to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations for the purpose of ensuring that study permit holders are genuine students who will study in Canada and that they are attending educational institutions that are eligible for this purpose. The goal is to strengthen the integrity of Canada’s immigration system by reducing fraud in the international student movement, while improving Canada’s standing as a desirable study destination.

A new regulatory requirement is proposed that would limit the issuance of study permits to educational institutions eligible to host international students. CIC is working in collaboration with provinces and territories, respecting areas that fall under their jurisdiction, on a proposed approach that would guide the eligibility of educational institutions for the purpose of hosting international students.

Additionally, new study permit conditions would be put in place requiring students to enrol in and actively pursue a course or program of study after arrival in Canada. The current provision that allows a foreign national to apply for a study permit for programs of less than six months would be eliminated in order to ensure that study permit holders only pursue studies at eligible institutions. Foreign nationals may, however, continue to enter Canada as visitors for the purpose of undertaking programs of study of less than six months in duration.

Foreign nationals who wish to apply for a study permit to attend an authorized school after they have entered Canada as a visitor would be authorized to apply for a study permit from within Canada in order to reduce barriers to study in Canada and facilitate pathways to further education.

Access by international students to work permits will be limited to eligible study permit holders, and these work permits would be limited to work permit programs specifically designed for international students (such as the Off-Campus Work Permit Program and the Co-op/Internship Work Permit Program). Eligible study permit holders who want to take part in these programs would need to be in compliance with the conditions of their study permit in order to qualify for a work permit, and to maintain its validity.

These regulatory changes will provide CIC and CBSA officers with the clear authority to take enforcement action against a foreign national who fails to actively pursue studies at an authorized educational institution after arrival in Canada, potentially leading to the loss of their temporary resident status and revocation of their study permit.

Comments

This Notice of Intent is an opportunity for the public to provide early comments and input into the proposed regulatory amendments described above, before the regulations are prepublished in the Canada Gazette. The prepublication process will provide an additional opportunity for public consultation on the proposed regulations.

Additional public consultations with key stakeholders on a proposed approach to the designation of educational institutions for the purpose of hosting international students will take place later this year.

Anyone (including immigration lawyers, stakeholders, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, interested groups, and the general public) may, within 30 days of this notice, provide their comments on this Notice of Intent, in writing, to the person named below at the address provided.

Questions and requests for additional information, as well as comments on this Notice of Intent, may be directed to Philippe Massé, Director, Temporary Resident Policy and Programs, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 365 Laurier Avenue W, 8th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1, 613-957-0001 (telephone), 613-954-0850 (fax), philippe.masse@cic.gc.ca (email).

Notice is hereby given, under subsection 87.3(6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has established the following Ministerial Instructions that, in the opinion of the Minister, will best support the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada.

Overview

Authority for Ministerial Instructions is derived from section 87.3 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Instructions are directed to officers and their delegates who are charged with handling and/or reviewing applications for permanent or temporary visas to enter Canada.

The Instructions are consistent with IRPA objectives as laid out in section 3 and are compliant with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Instructions do not apply to refugees or protected persons or persons making a request on Humanitarian or Compassionate grounds from within Canada.

The Instructions respect all previously established accords and agreements including the Quebec-Canada Accord and all existing agreements with provinces and territories.

These Ministerial Instructions identify eligibility criteria for applications and requests for certain immigration categories. Applications meeting these criteria are eligible for processing under these instructions. In all cases, applicants meeting eligibility criteria set out in Ministerial Instructions are still subject to all other applicable legislative requirements of the class to which the applicant is applying.

These Instructions will come into force on July 1, 2012, and apply to applications received by designated CIC offices on or after July 1, 2012.

All applications received by designated CIC offices prior to July 1, 2012, shall continue to be considered for processing according to the Ministerial Instructions in place at the time of their receipt.

Any categories for which Instructions are not specifically issued shall continue to be processed in the usual manner, as per processing priorities established by the Department.

Economic Class applications

Federal Skilled Worker Class

Temporary pause

No new Federal Skilled Worker applications will be accepted on or after July 1, 2012, excluding those applications for the PhD eligibility stream and those with a qualifying offer of arranged employment.

This temporary pause is being applied to manage inventory pressures and to align future intake with the implementation of proposed regulatory changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Class.

Complete applications for the PhD eligibility stream, the criteria for which were established by Ministerial Instructions that came into force on November 5, 2011, will continue to be put into processing until the annual cap of 1 000 is reached. The current cap year for the PhD stream ends on October 31, 2012, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction. Subsequent years will be calculated from November 1 to October 31, unless otherwise indicated in a future set of Ministerial Instructions.

Complete applications with a qualifying offer of arranged employment will continue to be put into processing without regard to a cap, as established in the Ministerial Instructions that came into effect on July 1, 2011.

In all cases, applicants meeting eligibility criteria set out in Ministerial Instructions are still subject to the requirements of the Federal Skilled Worker Class and all other applicable requirements under the IRPA.

Federal Immigrant Investor Class

Temporary pause

No new applications in this class will be accepted on or after July 1, 2012. This pause is being implemented until further notice to manage inventory pressures.

Federal Entrepreneur Class

As per Instructions that came into force on July 1, 2011, a temporary pause remains in place for all new applications in this class.

Family Class applications

Any categories for which Instructions are not specifically issued shall continue to be processed in the usual manner.

As per Instructions that came into force on November 5, 2011, a temporary pause remains in place for new sponsorship applications for parents and grandparents.

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Guidance for fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) in residential indoor air

Pursuant to subsection 55(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of Health hereby gives notice of guidance for fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) in residential indoor air. The guidance recommends that the existing residential indoor air exposure limits for fine particulate matter, as established by the 1987 Health Canada Exposure Guidelines for Residential Indoor Air Quality, be rescinded, as they are no longer supported by the available scientific evidence. No new numerical exposure limits for indoor air are proposed. Rather, any reduction in indoor levels of PM_2.5 is expected to be associated with health benefits, particularly for sensitive individuals. The guidance recommends strategies to reduce exposure to indoor PM_2.5, including

• cessation of smoking; and
• use of a stove top fan while cooking.

ANNEX

GUIDANCE FOR FINE PARTICULATE MATTER (PM_2.5)
IN RESIDENTIAL INDOOR AIR

Background

Fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) is a general term for all small particles found in air measuring equal to or less than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter. It is a complex mixture whose constituents vary in size, shape, density, surface area, and chemical composition (Health Canada and Environment Canada 1999; United States Environmental Protection Agency [U.S. EPA] 2009). In 1987, Health Canada published Exposure Guidelines for Residential Indoor Air Quality, which set maximum acceptable long- and short-term exposure ranges for PM_2.5 in homes. These guidelines are being revised to reflect the most up-to-date science on the health effects and residential exposure for PM_2.5.

Exposure

Indoor PM_2.5 is composed of indoor-generated PM_2.5 from sources such as smoking, cooking, and cleaning, and PM_2.5 that has infiltrated from the outside. In studies conducted by Health Canada in different Canadian cities, average indoor PM_2.5 concentrations were less than 15 µg/m³ in homes without smokers, and less than 35 µg/m³ in homes with smokers (Health Canada 2010). In general, indoor PM_2.5 levels were lower than outdoor concentrations measured directly outside the home, except in homes with smokers.

Health effects

Outdoor PM_2.5, as measured at area monitoring stations, has been shown in a large number of studies to be strongly associated with cardiovascular and respiratory mortality, and morbidity endpoints (Health Canada and Environment Canada 1999; World Health Organization [WHO] 2005; U.S. EPA 2009). There is no recognized threshold of health effects for outdoor PM_2.5 regardless of where exposure occurs (i.e. indoors or outdoors), and there is evidence that adverse health effects occur at current levels of exposure.

A much smaller number of studies have investigated the relationship between indoor PM_2.5 and health. There is some evidence for a relationship between indoor PM_2.5 levels and declines in lung function and increases in exhaled nitric oxide, a marker of airway inflammation, in asthmatic children (Koenig et al. 2003; Delfino et al. 2004; Koenig et al. 2005; Trenga et al. 2006). However, changes in exhaled nitric oxide were more strongly associated with outdoor PM_2.5 than indoor PM_2.5 (Koenig et al. 2003; Koenig et al. 2005; Allen et al. 2008). Associations between indoor PM_2.5 and subtle changes in markers of cardiovascular disease have also been observed in older adults (Delfino et al. 2008; Liu et al. 2009; Allen et al. 2011).

Guidance

The acceptable long- and short-term exposure ranges established in the 1987 exposure guidelines should be rescinded and replaced with this new guidance focusing on indoor source control to minimize long-term exposure to PM_2.5 indoors.

Indoor levels of PM_2.5 should be kept as low as possible, as there is no apparent threshold for the health effects of PM_2.5. It is impossible to entirely eliminate PM_2.5 indoors, as among its sources are essential and everyday activities, such as cooking and cleaning, as well as infiltration from outdoor sources, over which residents have little or no control. However, any reduction in PM_2.5 would be expected to result in health benefits, especially for sensitive individuals, such as those with underlying health conditions, the elderly or children.

The focus should be on reducing indoor sources over which homeowners and residents have some degree of control. The main recommended strategies to reduce exposure to the major sources of indoor-generated PM_2.5 are

• cessation of smoking; and
• use of a stove top fan while cooking.

Other actions to reduce indoor PM_2.5 levels include ensuring there is adequate ventilation, especially when doing activities that may generate PM_2.5. The potential benefits of ventilation, however, may be reduced or eliminated, if outdoor PM_2.5 levels are high. There is also evidence that some in-duct air filters or portable air cleaners with filters may help reduce indoor PM_2.5 levels. Filter efficiency, however, is highly variable among products and the effectiveness of filters as a method to reduce indoor PM_2.5 will depend on the product used and how it is maintained. A discussion of how to properly select and maintain air filters and portable air cleaners is beyond the scope of this document.

The above recommendations are consistent with Health Canada’s guidance to homeowners to focus on identifying the potential sources of contaminants in the home, and then on improving air quality through source control, improved ventilation and other remedial measures such as air filtration. Identification of potential sources is, in most situations, more informative and cost-effective than indoor air quality testing and comparison of measured values to quantitative guideline values.

Quantitative residential indoor air guidelines may be of use to public health and building professionals for the interpretation of results of indoor air quality studies and for the development of performance standards. With respect to indoor PM_2.5, Health Canada is not proposing a specific maximum exposure limit, but is recommending that indoor PM_2.5, at a minimum, be lower than PM_2.5 outside the home. Having an indoor level that is greater than the outdoor level indicates strong indoor sources of PM_2.5 that need to be addressed. The ratio of indoor to residential outdoor PM_2.5 levels can therefore serve to highlight situations where strategies to reduce indoor-generated PM_2.5 are necessary and will be most effective. The recommended PM_2.5 reduction strategies can be employed in all homes. However, for those homes with a ratio of indoor to outdoor PM_2.5 levels greater than one, targeted efforts to identify and remove indoor sources of PM_2.5 are a priority.
