Ministerial Instructions with respect to the processing of certain applications for a study permit made by a foreign national as a member of the student class
These Instructions are published in the Canada Gazette in accordance with subsection 87.3(6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
These Instructions are given, pursuant to section 87.3 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration as, in the opinion of the Minister, these Instructions will best support the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada by
- permitting Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration; and
- enriching and strengthening the social and cultural fabric of Canadian society, while respecting the federal, bilingual and multicultural character of Canada.
Overview
These Instructions establish that study permit applications within the scope of these Instructions require an attestation letter from the respective province or territory where the applicant intends to study.
The intent of these Instructions is to ensure that in 2025 the number of study permit applications accepted into processing by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration (the Department) within the scope of the Instructions does not exceed the number of applications remaining in the cap ending on January 21, 2025, at 11:59 P.M., as set out in the Ministerial Instructions (MI79) for the period from January 1, 2025, at 12:00 A.M. EST to January 21, 2025, at 11:59 P.M. EST, and that the number of applications does not exceed 550 162 for the period between January 22, 2025, at 12:00 A.M. EST and ending December 31, 2025, at 11:59 P.M. EST. Provinces and territories have been allocated a share of the 550 162 applications, as communicated by the Minister in letters to their provincial and territorial counterparts. As established in these Instructions, certain categories of study permit applications are excluded from the conditions and the associated application cap established by these Instructions.

COMING INTO FORCE
2 This Order would come into force on the day on which it is registered.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This explanatory note is not part of the notice of intent.)
Description
The notice of intent is an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed amendments to the Domestic Substances List (DSL), pursuant to subsection 66(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), that would add the letter “P” to the identifiers of 254 polymers, as the assessed form of those polymers met the reduced regulatory requirement (RRR) polymer criteria.
Background
The DSL provides an inventory of substances manufactured in or imported into Canada on a commercial scale. A substance not on the DSL is therefore a new substance in Canada. Under CEPA, no new substances can be manufactured in or imported into Canada above the prescribed thresholds before an assessment of their potential impacts on human health and the environment has been performed. Reporting requirements for new chemicals and polymers are set out in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) [the Regulations].
Substances on the DSL are not subject to notification under the Regulations; however, when a substance identifier on the DSL is followed by a regulatory flag (that is letter “S,” “S′” or “P”) this substance is subject to notification under certain circumstances.
The letter “P” after a substance identifier indicates that the substance assessed and added to the DSL met the RRR polymer criteria in the Regulations. Substances that meet the RRR polymer criteria are considered of low concern, which allows for fewer regulatory information requirements under the Regulations than for non-reduced regulatory requirement (non-RRR) polymers. Typically, a substance synthesized in a form that meets the RRR polymer criteria can also be synthesized in a form that does not meet these criteria.
The purpose of the letter “P” is to indicate that any person who intends to manufacture in or import into Canada the polymer in a form that does not meet the RRR criteria in a quantity above prescribed thresholds, must submit the information prescribed in the Regulations. Please consult section 4.7 of the Guidance document for the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) for help determining the applicable notification schedule.
Project scope
Environment and Climate Change Canada identified substances that were assessed as RRR polymers and added to the DSL prior to the introduction of the letter “P” in 2003.footnote3 Any form of these polymers that does not meet the RRR criteria currently does not require notification. Therefore, it is proposed to add the letter “P” to the identifiers of these polymers to clarify that only the RRR forms of these polymers are on the DSL, as per their assessment, and not the non-RRR forms. The addition of the letter “P” would allow for the environmental and human health risk assessment of any form of these polymers that does not meet the RRR criteria, prior to their manufacture or import in Canada.
Next steps
Within 120 days of publication of the notice of intent, any person may submit comments on the proposed amendments, which will be taken into consideration during the development of the final order. The final order will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II. Amendments to the DSL are not in force until the order is published in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
