A number of the recommendations contained in the Report will now come into effect from 1 January 2011 including the introduction of maximum periods of residence in the State and the 'Reform of the Present Student Immigration Regime' which will differentiate between "Degree Programme" courses and those at the "Language or Non Degree Programme" level.
