Ottawa Considers Expanding Off-Campus Work Hours for International Students to Address Labor Shortages

✅Ottawa is reviewing regulations to allow international students to work more than the current 20-hour weekly limit off-campus. The review, launched on June 29, aims to address labor shortages while balancing the academic focus of study permits. International students could previously work up to 24 hours weekly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this was reduced to 20 hours on April 30. An IRCC survey shows that over half of international students would work more if allowed. The proposed change could benefit nearly 300,000 students, increasing their earnings and potentially resolving labor shortages in low-wage industries. . Source: www.immigration.ca . .
