Dear future neighbour,

In the city of Toronto, Ontario you can rent a three bedroom apartment for an average of $4,384 in the city centre. This is according to statistics available on Numbeo.com which are gathered from residents of the city.

Unfortunately, accommodation cannot be the only factor you consider when moving to a new city. It’s worth noting that rental prices can vary depending on the neighborhood, building amenities, and other factors. While Toronto offers a wide range of cultural, entertainment, and employment opportunities, the cost of housing remains a significant consideration for residents. For the next month, we will review these factors and recommend cities based on statistics to help you make an informed decision.

See below in descending order the full list of the cities where rent is most expensive in the city centre in the province of Ontario:

Toronto – $4,384
Markham – $3,766
Mississauga – $3,733
Richmond Hill – $3,666

Canada hopes to extend international students work policy time

By EUIC Admin News, Study Visa, Temporary Visa

Hello future neighbour,

Canada made multiple changes in the beginning of the year in a bid to improve the welfare of international students. Some of these changes included an increase in the cost of living which took effect from January 1, 2024, also the requirement of a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province where the student will reside. A cap was also placed on the number of international students received annually thereby reducing the number of temporary residents by limiting the eligibility for Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) and Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP).

These changes have been contested by international students who have complained about the PGWP and SOWP.

Recently, the Immigration Minister, Marc Miller extended the full-time work policy for eligible international students to April, 30, 2024, this is to enable the students sustain their cost of living.

Not all students are eligible to work, only study permit applicants meeting the below criteria are eligible until April 30, 2024:

If study permit application (or extension) was received by IRCC by October 7, 2022

If any of the following apply to you, you may work off campus for more than 20 hours per week between November 15, 2022, and April 30, 2024:

You are a full-time student at a DLI with a study permit (or part-time if it’s your last semester of study).
Despite the expiration of your study permit, you have kept your status and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if it’s your last semester) in classes at a DLI.

If study permit application (or extension) was received by IRCC between October 8, 2022, and December 7, 2023

If any of the following apply to you, you may work off campus for more than 20 hours per week between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2024:

You are a full-time student at a DLI with a study permit (or part-time if it’s your last semester of study).
Despite the expiration of your study permit, you have kept your status and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if it’s your last semester) in classes at a DLI.
Although your study permission has been granted, you have not yet entered Canada.

Any individual who has submitted a study permit application or extension to IRCC after December 7, 2023, is ineligible to work more than 20 hours.

IRCC is however considering increasing the off-campus working hours for students to 30 hours weekly while class is in session.

Applicants must hold a legitimate full-time, non-seasonal employment offer from an authorized company in the relevant industry.
Applicants must have satisfied the requirements to permanently establish themselves in Alberta and have worked for a tourist or hospitality company for at least six months.

The Alberta Opportunity Stream Program has been temporarily put on hold. However, applications received before the program was suspended will be reviewed while applications that were drafted and not filed or awaiting fee approval will not be accepted until further notice from AAIP.
