In order to deal with the shortage of people for work, the Canadian government has taken a big decision regarding international students. The Canadian government has temporarily lifted the time limit for off-campus working hours. Currently, international students can work off-campus for up to 20 hours a week while studying in Canada. This time limit has been temporarily removed. It is worth noting that most of the students going to study in Canada do jobs there to meet their overhead expenses.
The Department of Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) underlined that companies are facing difficulties in hiring new employees. IRCC said, “International students who are present in Canada from 15 November 2022 to 31 December 2023 and have the right to work off-campus on their study permit. They are no longer under the rule of working 20 hours per week.
Five lakh students will get benefit
The IRCC said, "Foreigners who have just submitted a study permit application will also be able to take advantage of this temporary change, provided their application is accepted." Going to do.
The department further said, “Students holding study permits are expected to balance both their work and studies. At the same time, students who are not studying and studying part-time cannot work off-campus.
Applications will be approved under the pilot project
IRCC is also launching a pilot project so that the study permit can be processed on its own. The applications being included in this pilot project have a higher approval rate, as all applications were previously approved for study in Canada. However, this pilot project will involve fewer applications, which will be approved quickly with the goal of improving client service.
A large number of Indian students also go to Canada for studies. Canada is emerging as the second most preferred country for higher education after America. In such a situation, Indian students are also going to benefit from this new rule.
