Cap on number of hours worked will be lifted from Nov. 15, continue until end of year
OTTAWA — A new pilot project to lift the cap on the number of hours international students can work should be made permanent, say advocates who have spent years asking for the change.
“We were expecting something permanent,” he said in an interview. “Not for something in response to a labour shortage, instead of genuine effort to help to improve lives of international students.” “We’re going to be able to learn some lessons over the course of the next year, and we’re going to be able to determine whether this is the kind of thing we can look at doing over a longer period of time.”In April 2020, the cap was temporarily removed for international students who served essential roles during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those with jobs in energy, health, finance, food services, transportation and manufacturing.
