British Columbia Issuing Provincial Attestation Letters For International Students
British Columbia introduces the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) system for international students applying for study permits, aligning with IRCC’s 2024 study permit allocation limits. This move, aimed at managing sustainable growth and enhancing the quality of education, requires students to obtain a PAL from designated learning institutions. With a significant reduction in study permit allocations compared to 2023, the policy addresses concerns of unsustainable growth and aims to improve the international student experience and support in British Columbia.
