The government of Canada announced the temporary lifting of the measure that limited students to working only 20 hours per week off campus.
In this way, international students who have permission to work off campus will be able to apply for this benefit from the November 15, 2022 through December 31, 2023, without the restriction of the limit of 20 hours per week.
The government of that country explains that with this measure, international students will have the possibility of “expanding their income, paying their expenses and also acquiring more experience in the international labor market, while alternating their professional studies in that country.”
“With the economy growing at a faster rate While employers can hire new workers, Canada needs to consider all options so that we have the skills and workforce to fuel our growth. Immigration will be crucial in addressing our labor shortage,” said Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
In a statement, the Canadian government explains that they require an immigrant quota of 431,000 for 2022 and 447,000 for 2023as a way to boost its economy, and of course, provide more opportunities to international students.
Students who have permission to work are those pursuing a post-secondary program. “Does not apply to students of English or French”indicates the communication.
After the announcement, some doubts arise that can be answered in a space created to guide people who wish to migrate to Canada. ‘Connecting Canada’ will be a space for two days of conferences where nine experts in different areas will be speaking about migration processes.
