As of September 2024, Canada has adjusted its regulations concerning work hours for international students. The new policy allows international students to work up to 24 hours per week during academic terms. This change marks a shift from previous allowances and aims to balance students' work and study commitments effectively.
Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, highlighted that the adjustment is part of efforts to ensure international students prioritize their academic pursuits while still having opportunities for practical work experience. He emphasized the importance of aligning Canada's policies with international standards to maintain the integrity of its student programs.
The new regulation does not impose a work limit during scheduled breaks, such as summer vacations, providing flexibility for students to work additional hours when classes are not in session. This approach is designed to support international students in managing their expenses and gaining valuable work experience during their studies in Canada.
