Ottawa has changed its requirements for post-study work permits, adding more than 100 fields of study to its list of eligible programs that students can complete before applying for work visas. Meanwhile, 178 formerly eligible fields have now been cut.

The move is part of broader student visa changes first announced in November 2024.
