# 2025 in review: Canada’s biggest changes for international students and PGWP eligibility. In 2025, Canada introduced several changes affecting international students and recent graduates—from new rules for changing schools to updated eligibility requirements for Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWPs). These updates matter whether you’re planning to study in Canada, are already here on a study permit, or are aiming to work on a PGWP after graduation. * Restrictions on open work permits for spouses of international students. During the end of 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) implemented rules requiring international students to apply and be approved for a new study permit before changing their designated learning institution (DLI). In January 2025, new rules came into effect building on the above change, requiring international students to also include a new valid Provincial or Territorial Attestation Letter (PAL/TAL) before submitting an application for a study permit extension.
