Study Permit Application Approved Could NOT Travel To Canada

[Parminder]

My niece is in India. She applied for study permit application to Canada for May 2020 intake. Her application was approved but she could not travel in May 2020 due to covid-19 travel restrictions. Now, she is doing her Canadian study online while living in India. I need to know what are the options for international student during this COVID-19 pandemic for their ongoing study coursework? How their studies will be taken care and their PGWP applications will work on?

In this scenario, international students who have their study permit approved for May and June 2020 intake will not be affected for their PGWP eligibility. Their studies won’t be affected. It is allowed that they can start their studies online and they can compete up to 50% of their studies online outside Canada if they are not able to travel sooner due to covid-19 affects.
