British Columbia put a 2-year ban on private colleges accepting foreign students.

Categories Abroad Study 0 Comments

British Columbia has implemented a provincial ban on new colleges enrolling international students for a two-year period, following the federal government’s introduction of a temporary two-year cap on the number of Canada study permits issued.

The province wants to end “exploitative practices” in the field, according to BC Post-Secondary Education Minister Selina Robinson.

In addition, the province is imposing minimum language requirements at private institutions in order to make sure that international students are “better prepared” before entering BC.

In order to ensure that criteria are met, inspections of schools would occur more regularly. Additionally, private colleges and universities would have to demonstrate that their new curricula satisfy the demands of the job market and be more open about their tuition costs.

How do I get GST/HST benefits as an international student in Canada?

Categories Abroad Study 0 Comments

Did you know that international students can apply for benefit and credit payments, like the GST/HST credit as soon as they arrive in Canada?

You are eligible for this credit if you are a resident of Canada for income tax purposes at the beginning of the month in which the CRA makes a payment (see When your GST/HST credit is paid). In the month before the CRA makes a quarterly payment, you must be at least 19 years old. Students are also eligible for this type of benefit.

GST and HST: The goods and services tax (GST) is a tax that everyone has to pay on most goods and services sold or provided in Canada. In New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island, the GST has been blended with the provincial sales tax and is called the harmonized sales tax (HST).

The territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut have no territorial sales taxes, so only the GST is collected.
