🚨 HAD A MEDICAL EXAM IN THE LAST 5 YEARS? READ THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR PR APPLICATION.

IRCC has clarified who may be able to use a previous Immigration Medical Exam (IME) for a new application under the temporary public policy.

🇨🇦 If you’re residing in Canada and completed an IME within the 5 years before submitting your new application, you may be eligible to use that previous exam.

🌎 Residing outside Canada? The temporary public policy does not apply, and the normal medical examination process applies.

If you qualify to use your previous IME, remember to include the IME number or Unique Medical Identifier (UMI) from your previous exam in your application.

📅 The temporary public policy has been extended until October 5, 2029.

IRCC also updated its program delivery instructions on September 22, 2026.

🇦🇺 Australia Skilled Visa Update

Australia has introduced Ministerial Directions 121 & 122, effective 19 September 2026, changing the processing priorities for a range of temporary, provisional and permanent skilled visa applications.

The new framework places greater processing priority on specified occupations in construction, healthcare, teaching, agriculture, aquaculture, fishing, resources, law enforcement and defence.

For Subclass 482, the Specialist Skills stream also receives a dedicated second-level priority.

For other skilled visa pathways covered by MD 122, onshore applicants generally receive priority after the specified priority occupations and sectors.

⚠️ Important: These Directions change processing priority, not visa eligibility. They do not guarantee approval or a specific processing timeframe.

Swipe through to see how MD 121 & 122 may affect skilled visa processing. ➡️

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA JUST CHANGED THE RULES — BUT THIS ISN’T A BLANKET CUT TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

On 17 September, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced the next stage of Australia’s migration reforms, focusing heavily on temporary migration and the way people move through the visa system.

The changes include:

🎓 International students: tighter restrictions on bringing partners and children, with exemptions for certain groups and courses.

📚 Visa hopping: stricter rules around course transfers and academic progression, including a requirement for a new Student visa when changing courses.

✈️ Visitor visas: a No Further Stay condition is being introduced to prevent visitor visas from being used as a pathway to extend a stay in Australia.

🎒 Working Holiday Makers: ballot arrangements for second- and third-year visas, alongside regional work requirements.

🏗️ Skilled migration: greater priority for sectors Australia identifies as needing workers, including healthcare, construction, education, defence, resources, agriculture, aquaculture and fishing.

🚨 Compliance: additional resources will be dedicated to addressing visa overstayers, while migration agents who knowingly support non-meritorious applications may face stronger sanctions.

The government is targeting Net Overseas Migration of 245,000 in 2026–27 and 225,000 in 2027–28.

So if you’re planning to study, work, visit or migrate to Australia, don’t make major changes based on headlines alone.

🚨 MAJOR U.S. IMMIGRATION DEVELOPMENTS TO WATCH THIS SEPTEMBER

DHS is moving forward with two significant changes that could affect international workers, students, and exchange visitors.

🇺🇸 1. 60-day grace period proposal

DHS has released an advance copy of a proposed rule that would eliminate the discretionary 60-day grace period for certain nonimmigrant workers, including E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1 and TN workers and their dependents.

📅 The proposal is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on September 11, 2026, followed by a 60-day public comment period.

⚠️ Nothing changes today. This is still a proposed rule and would need to go through the rulemaking process before taking effect.

🎓 2. F-1 & J-1 Duration of Status rule

A separate DHS rule is scheduled to take effect on September 15, 2026, ending “Duration of Status” (D/S) for F-1 students and J-1 exchange visitors and replacing it with fixed periods of admission.

However, the rule is currently being challenged in federal court in Massachusetts.

Following a September 3 hearing, the judge raised significant concerns about DHS’s justification, the rulemaking process, and the potential harm to affected individuals. He also raised the possibility of a temporary restraining order that could block the rule, at least temporarily.

📌 For now, September 15 remains the scheduled effective date.

Both developments are moving quickly, and the legal and regulatory landscape could change in the coming days.

Employers: review offboarding procedures, involve immigration counsel early, assess workforce impact, and consider submitting public comments on the proposed grace-period rule.

🚨 IRCC has clarified how immigration officers assess financial evidence for study permit applications.

Many applicants believe showing a large bank balance is enough, but officers now place significant emphasis on where the money comes from, whether it's genuinely available, and whether you'll realistically be able to finance your education beyond the first year.

Your financial documents should tell a clear, consistent, and credible story.

🚨 Major OINP Update: Great News for International Graduates! 🇨🇦

Ontario has introduced important changes to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), creating new opportunities for international graduates planning to apply for Permanent Residence (PR).

✅ What's Changed?

🔹 Updated Work Experience Requirement
• 3 months of work experience with the same employer in the same NOC for recent Ontario graduates
• 6 months for all other applicants

🔹 Points Removed
📍 Location of Study – No longer affects your score. Graduates from Toronto institutions are now on equal footing with graduates from other parts of Ontario.

🎓 Field of Study – No additional points for STEM, Healthcare, or Skilled Trades programs. This factor has been removed.

🔹 Greater Focus on Employment & Earnings
Ontario is now rewarding candidates based on their labour market success:
✅ Up to 18 points for Ontario work experience
💰 Up to 15 points for hourly wage
📈 Up to 8 points for annual income

🎯 What does this mean?
The OINP now places greater emphasis on your employment, work experience, and earnings rather than where or what you studied, benefiting many international graduates who are already working in Ontario.

💬 Not sure how these changes impact your PR eligibility?
Our RCIC-regulated team at CIP Immigration can assess your profile and guide you through the best pathway.
