10月20日起，加拿大这些学校将对国际学生开放

根据加拿大大使馆官方微博，从2020年10月20日开始，具有加拿大省或地区批准的新冠防疫计划的加拿大认证大学或学院（DLI），可以向加拿大境外的国际留学生重新开放。具有已批准的新冠防疫计划的学校列表将在此日期或之前提供。

根据加拿大政府官方网站发布的针对国际学生和新冠肺炎的通知：如果您计划在10月20日后以国际学生的身份入境加拿大，则在动身之前，您需要先确定就读的大学或学院在已批准的新冠防疫计划的学校列表中。

另外，此项规定对于已在加拿大境内就读的国际学生没有影响。如果您已经在加拿大，您可以在任何加拿大认证大学或学院继续学业。但需要注意的是，如果您离开加拿大，且您所在院校不在学校列表中时，您可能无法返回。

加拿大父母及祖父母团聚项目

10月13日起开放申请

当地时间10月5日，加拿大移民部长Marco Mendicino先生正式宣布，开放2020年度PGP计划（父母及祖父母团聚移民），时间为2020年10月13日12:00至2020年11月3日12:00，为期三周，配额为10000个。

届时加拿大公民和永久居民将有机会在线填写表格申请让他们的父母及祖父母来加拿大。为了确保申请人有公平、透明和平等的机会，加拿大移民、难民和公民委员会(IRCC)将采用随机的方式进行。

官网英文说明：

October 5, 2020—Ottawa—The Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced details for the opening of the 2020 Parents and Grandparents (PGP) Program, building further on the government’s commitment to reuniting families.

Over a 3-week period, from 12 p.m. EDT on October 13, 2020, to 12 p.m. EST on November 3, 2020, Canadians and permanent residents who wish to sponsor their parents and grandparents to come to Canada will have an opportunity to submit an interest to sponsor form online.

In order to ensure a fair, transparent and equal opportunity for applicants, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will randomly select potential sponsors and send them an invitation to submit an application. Selected applicants will have 60 days to submit their application.

Accommodation is available to persons with disabilities who are unable to use the online form. They can request the interest to sponsor form in an alternative format (paper copy, Braille or large print) by contacting the IRCC Client Support Centre at 1-888-242-2100 or by email until November 3, 2020.

Given that many sponsors may have been financially impacted by the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, IRCC is introducing a temporary public policy that will reduce the income requirement for the 2020 tax year to the minimum necessary income, instead of the minimum necessary income plus 30%.

The government knows how important it is for families to be together, particularly during difficult times. The launch of the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program builds on the government’s initiatives to prioritize the approval of 49,000 family sponsorship applications by December 31, 2020, as well as last week’s announcement of a process to reunite more families and approve compassionate cases within the current border restrictions.

A maximum of 10,000 applications will be accepted for processing as part of the 2020 PGP intake. In 2021, IRCC will open a new intake of interest to sponsor forms to accept a total of 30,000 new applications.
