Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 7 September 2020 to Question 84331 on Immigration, whether people will be able to make applications in October 2020.
On 10 September the Home Office laid Immigration Rules to enable the new points-based Student Route and Child Student routes to open on 5 October 2020. Eligible applicants will be able to apply under these routes from that date.
The opening of these routes is a significant milestone in the delivery of the UK’s new points-based immigration system. The Skilled Worker route will open later this year.
