Major Update: New Rules for International Students in Canada! Big News for International Students! 🇨🇦 1. Tighter Cap on Study Permits: Only 437,000 study permits will be issued in 2025, a 10% drop from 2024. IRCC expects this to result in 300,000 fewer study permits being issued to international students over the next few years. 2. New Provincial Attestation Requirement: Master’s and PhD students now require a Provincial Attestation Letter The updated cap will now include master’s and doctoral students, who will no longer be exempt from obtaining a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL). 3. PGWP Eligibility Changes: Additionally, more changes have been made to eligibility requirements for a Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Applicants will now be required to demonstrate a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score of 7 for university graduates and a CLB of 5 for college graduates who apply after November 1. 4. Limits on Spousal Work Permits: IRCC is also limiting work permit eligibility, later this year, to spouses of master’s degree students whose program is at least 16 months in duration. This is expected to result in 50,000 fewer spousal work permits being issued over the next three years.

The most awaited startup list of the month is out! We are excited to announce this month’s 30 Startups To Watch series – featuring the 30 hottest startups on our radar for August 🚀 Continuing our sprint to find the crème de la crème of early stage startups, this marks the 50th edition of Inc42’s flagship series — ‘30 Startups To Watch’. Notably, the golden cohort of our much-awaited monthly series is being introduced at a time when the investor interest is seemingly skewed towards early stage startups, courtesy of GenAI. According to Inc42’s H1 2024 funding report, seed and growth-stage companies drove the funding trend in H1 2024. Favoured by the advent of AI, the Indian seed-stage startup funding received a booster shot, catapulting it 23% YoY to $589 Mn across 229 deals in H1 2024. Now as Indian early stage ventures prepare to make hay while the investor sun still shines, we present to you the 30 startups that caught our eyes in August. Let’s take a look at who made the list 👀👇 #startups #30stw #entrepreneurship
