The cap has put stress on students facing ever increasing costs while living in Canada
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.
Jaspreet Singh, who founded the association, said the government's decision to temporarily lift the cap came as a surprise. The 20-hour cap has never made much sense given most employers in Canada offer eight hour shifts, said Singh, who graduated as an international student two years ago from Sheridan College in the Greater Toronto Area and has since become a permanent resident.The government plans to treat the temporary policy as a pilot project, Fraser said at a press conference Friday.
