Good day,

lam writing to seek clarification regarding the classification of hybrid course delivery in relation to Immigration,

Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)’s study permit and Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility

requirements.

Att ne offer three primary modes of course delivery: online, hybrid, and face-to-face/in-person.

Hybrid learning combines both an in-person component and an online component, enabling students to engage with

course material through a flexible blend of classroom-based and virtual instruction.

Specifically, we would like to confirm whether hybrid courses, given their partial in-person delivery, are classified as “in-

class” courses for the purposes of IRCC policies related to study permits and PGWP eligibility. This clarification is 001208

We hope this inquiry will assist in providing our institution and students with clear guidance on how hybrid courses are considered under the current framework. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response. Should you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and support. [NAME REDACTED]
