Starting this fall, the Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will implement a new policy limiting the number of hours international students can work off-campus to 24 hours per week, down from the previous 40 hours. This change, announced by Immigration Minister Marc Miller, will affect approximately 982,880 foreign students and is part of an effort to refocus the program on academics rather than employment. The revision comes after a temporary increase to 40 hours was introduced to aid post-pandemic recovery.

When we lifted the 20 hrs/week work rule for international students, we did so to support the post-pandemic recovery. Today, I announced that this measure will no longer be extended and, this fall, off-campus student work hours will be limited to 24 hrs/week.
