Immigration Minister says the reduced limit for off-campus work will ensure international students come to Canada to receive an education rather than find a job
Foreign students will only be allowed to work for 24 hours a week off campus – down from a maximum 40 hours – Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced on Monday, in the latest reform to bolster the integrity of Canada’s international student system.
A pilot program introduced during the pandemic to allow international students to work for up to 40 hours a week, which was extended at the end of last year, ends this month. “We also want to follow the research and continue to improve the integrity of the entire international student program,” Mr. Miller said. “To be clear, the purpose of the international student program is to study and not to work.”During holidays, including the summer months, international students will be permitted to work more hours, or even full time.
But he said on Monday that working 30 hours a week is close to a full-time job and “does not match with the idea behind the international student program which is to study and not to work.”
