國際學生工作許可 全面放寬
沒有行業類型限制 無須事先獲聘用 效期延至三年
移民部表示，新的國際學生工作許可申請辦法，為想移民加拿大的國際學生，提供了符合「加拿大經驗」（Canadian Experience）類別移民途徑的一個方式。范茵麗昨天在西門菲莎大學城中校區舉行的記者會上說，開放國際學生的工作許可，是依據專上教育工作許可計畫（Post-Graduation Work Permit Program），未來國際學生畢業後，無須尋找與所學領域相符的工作，也不需要事先獲得雇主聘用，即可申請工作許可，效期同時延長至三年。新的國際學生工作許可申請辦法自宣布日起立即實施。
移民部以往對國際學生的工作許可申請，限制必須與在校所學的領域相符，除了溫哥華、多倫多和滿地可等較大城市，工作許可效期為兩年，其餘地區均為一年。移民部新的國際學生工作許可政策，將適用全加拿大。
去年秋天，移民部先放寬在亞伯達省就讀私立大專校院的國際留學生校外打工限制，但在此之前，移民部只允許就讀公立大專校院的國際留學生，可申請校外打工。
不過，昨天宣布的新政策仍只適用於政府認可的專上教育機構的國際學生。同時，符合條件的國際學生必須就讀全時課程（八個月），並在獲得學校核發的正式成績單後90天內提出申請。而提出申請的國際學生，在申請工作許可時，所持的學生簽證仍須在有效期內。
根據聯邦政府統計，去年共有6萬3673名國際學生到加拿大就學，和前一年相較，成長4.6%。

Goverment of Canada introduces changes to work permits for international students, making Canada more attractive for skilled individuals
Vancouver, April 21, 2008 — The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, today announced changes to work permits for international students who graduate from eligible programs at certain Canadian post-secondary institutions, making it easier to attract foreign students to Canada.
Effective immediately, and for the first time, these international students would be able to obtain an open work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, with no restrictions on the type of employment and no requirement for a job offer. In addition, the duration of the work permit has been extended to three years across the country. Previously, the program only allowed international students to work for one or two years, depending on location.
“The Government of Canada wants more foreign students to choose Canada and we want to help them succeed,” said Minister Finley. “Open and longer work permits provide international students with more opportunities for Canadian work experience and skills development. This will, in turn, help make Canada a destination of choice, and help us keep international students already studying in Canada.”
The increased flexibility offered by the expanded program will benefit graduates and employers alike as the program will help international students get important work experience while responding to Canada’s labour market needs. Canada will benefit in the long run as the professional experience gained will help graduates meet the requirements to stay permanently in Canada.
“As we move toward the implementation of the Canadian Experience Class, these changes will help create a pool of individuals who, with work experience, will find it easier to apply to immigrate to Canada,” added Minister Finley. “Our ability to retain international graduates with Canadian qualifications, work experience and familiarity with Canadian society, will help increase our competitiveness and benefit Canada as a whole.”
The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program allows students who have graduated from an eligible program at a post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Preliminary 2007 data indicate that 63,673 international students came to Canada that year, representing a 4.6 percent increase over the previous year
