Until now, foreign students studying at Canadian post-secondary learning institutions were allowed to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week.
The government has now announced that from November 15, 2022 to December 31, 2023, post-secondary foreign students will no longer face the 20 hour restriction. Effectively, foreign post-secondary students will be allowed to work ‘full-time’ off-campus – subject of course to relevant employment standards or other legal issues, and the realities of their time vis-à-vis their studies, etc.
