With international travel still difficult for much of the world in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada recently took steps to make it easier for students to begin studying at Canadian colleges and universities via the Internet while still in their home countries. They began by addressing overseas students with questions about how they could obtain a post-graduate work permit after completing their studies.
We’re also providing priority processing for students who have submitted a complete study permit application.

In regards to the change they made earlier in the year that made it able for students to apply for permits without all of the required paperwork, they reinforced that this is still the case but complete applications will be processed first.
If you can’t submit a complete application, we’ll process your application in 2 stages: eligibility and admissibility. Our aim is to pass most applications through stage 1 before the fall semester starts. Learn more about the changes (3/3): https://t.co/c9fQSCIqJ1

They continued on to explain what is required to have an application pass both the Eligibility and Admissibility stages.
Students receive final approval once they meet all admissibility requirements, including submitting necessary documents such as biometrics, an immigration medical exam and a police certificate.
