Canada lifts 20-hour weekly work limit on international students

Canada lifts 20-hour weekly work limit on international students

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser has temporarily removed the 20-hour weekly work limit on study permits for international students as part of efforts to address widespread job vacancies across the Canadian economy.

The move was immediately welcomed by the Migrant Students United (MSU) and Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC).

“Removing the limit on hours of work while studying gives migrant student workers the power to protect themselves from exploitation, abuse and mistreatment at work,” MSU-MWAC organizer Sarom Rho said in a press release today.

The alliance has campaigned for the work limit’s removal since 2019, when an international student was deported for working more than allowed while class was in session. In response, over 52,000 migrant students signed a petition to delay the student’s deportation, organized phone calls, met with government officials and protested for the removal of the 20-hour work limit.
