[requester] is an international student advisor and immigration specialist at | am reaching out to you regarding an update on the IRCC website. Yesterday, the PGWP field of study requirement was updated from “Submitted study permit application on or after November 1, 2024” to “Graduated from a program that you started on or after November 1, 2024." Could you please confirm whether study permit applications submitted before November 1, 2024, are still exempt from the field of study requirements, as previously mentioned? We are seeking clarification from you. Thank you,
