Canada Reviewing Student Visa Programme to Admit More Post-secondary Students from Nigeria, Others
- Canada is introducing the 'Trusted Institution' framework to its student visa programme by 2024
- The framework will provide Canada's current Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) a revolutionary two-tiered structure
- This means every Canadian institution that enrols international students must need to be a DLI.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced plans to introduce the Trusted Institution framework to its student visa programme by 2024.
The move is considered an ambitious effort to change Canada's International Student Programme (ISP).
By updating the evaluation standards for post-secondary institutions taking part in the programme, this strategic initiative represents a crucial step towards the modernization of the ISP.

The framework aims to elevate reliability
According to report, the IRCC's upcoming Trusted Institution framework, a key component of the ISP reform, aims to fundamentally alter how post-secondary institutions are judged in terms of their suitability to accept international students.
Insiders speculate that the framework relies around a careful assessment of institutions based on a set of particular criteria. However exact details are still being kept under wraps.
These requirements cover ethical admissions procedures, accurate authentic student identity, stringent compliance monitoring and reporting, as well as the provision of a safe and beneficial experience for foreign scholars.
Institutions that successfully satisfy the requirements will be given the coveted distinction of trusted institutions.
Although the full effects of this distinction have not yet been revealed, the IRCC has hinted that applicants connected to Trusted Institutions may benefit from accelerated and simplified processing.
This tactical move not only improves the effectiveness of the application process but also strengthens the standing of reputable schools among the community of overseas students.
The upcoming Trusted Institution framework adds a revolutionary two-tiered structure amid Canada's current Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).
The designation of "Designated Learning Institution," recognised by the relevant province or territorial governments, is currently required of all Canadian institutions that accept overseas students.
However, with the introduction of the Trusted Institution framework, a distinct division between institutions with and without the designation has emerged.
How the framework will improve institutions
The upcoming Trusted Institution framework will provide Canada's current Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) with a revolutionary two-tiered structure.
Currently, all Canadian institutions that accept foreign students are required to hold the designation of Designated Learning Institution, which the relevant provincial or territory government has approved.
But now that the Trusted Institution framework has been established, a definite line has been drawn between institutions that have that classification and those that don't have it.

Legit.ng had earlier reported that the government of the United Kingdom (UK) has issued a caution to job seekers, particularly those who are immigrants planning to move there.
The UK government revealed seven warning indicators job applicants should watch out for on its website in an effort to prevent converting a possible dream job into an immediate nightmare.
The warning follows a recent account of numerous Nigerians and citizens of other nations who paid agents large sums of money to go to the UK on skilled workers' visas only to discover they had no jobs, leaving them penniless.
