Off-campus Work Cap Lifted.
Students can work full-time
From 15.11.2022 to 31.12.2023
Announcment today from IRCC:
International Students: we are temporarily lifting the 20-hour-per-week cap on the number of hours that students in Canada are allowed to work off-campus while class is in session: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/international-students-to-help-address-canadas-labour-shortage.html
Starting November 15 2022, until December 31 2023, if you’re an international student and have a study permit with off-campus work authorization, there will no longer be any limit on the hours you can work.
You can benefit from this change if:
➡️ your study permit has already been issued
➡️your study permit has been approved but you have not arrived in Canada yet
➡️you submitted a study permit application before October 7, 2022, and are awaiting approval
Employers are facing unprecedented challenges in finding and retaining the workers they need during this period of economic recovery and growth. The Government of Canada is continuing to take concrete actions to address current labour needs.
