FOREIGN STUDENTS CAN WORK MORE THAN 20 HOURS PER WEEK IN CANADA
Great news for the Canadian economy which is experiencing a major shortage of personnel and for international students studying in Canada, they will now be able to work more than 20 hours per week. Before this announcement, international students could work off campus for a maximum of 20 hours during their study sessions.
Canada is therefore lifting the cap on the hour limit of work that international students can do per week. This change will be in effect from November 15 until the end of 2023. “This means that 500,000 students who are already here will be able to choose to work more if they wish,” said Mr. Fraser.
Companies that currently hire foreign students will soon be able to offer them more shifts.
