Today, in a press briefing at the House of Commons, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced an adjustment to the working hours permitted for international students in Canada. Starting September 2024, international students will be allowed to work up to 24 hours per week during academic sessions, an increase from the current 20-hour limit. This change aligns with the expiration of the temporary full-time work policy on April 30, 2024, which was initially introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to address labor shortages. Minister Miller clarified that while the temporary policy will not continue, the new 24-hour limit aims to provide ongoing support for international students and Canadian businesses alike. No changes will affect the unlimited work hours allowed during scheduled breaks.
