Question

With regard to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and international students, broken down by year the international student arrived in Canada, for each of the last five years: (a) how many times was IRCC notified that the student was changing the designated learning institution; and (b) of the changes in (a), in how many instances did IRCC receive notice within (i) one week, (ii) 30 days, (iii) 90 days, (iv) six months, (v) one year, of the student arriving in Canada?

Reply

Insofar as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is concerned:

When students change institutions, they are to report it through their MyAccount profile. This data, however, is embedded within the student’s GCMS case file in such a way that it is not possible to extract for reporting purposes within the timeframe of a written question.
