New Canadian study permit rules

[One Bug]

I just saw the new rules for international students to go to Canada on a study permit - they look innocuous enough, I think.  Will they entail many changes to the process of applying for a permit (i.e. is there anything I'm missing)?  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-02-12.asp

with the exception that now all the forms must be filled online (they're phasing out paper-and-pencil forms) no, there is nothing that you're missing. most of the changes were targeted to stop "visa mill" applications (i.e. people who were applying as students but with no real intention to actually study OR to study in Canada and not go back to their home country).
