Immigration Minister Marc Miller says international students will be able to work off-campus up to 24 hours per week starting in September.
The Liberals temporarily waved the 20-hour cap on work hours for international students during the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to ease labour shortages.
The Canadian Press reported earlier this year that officials in Miller's department warned the government in 2022 that the temporary waiver could distract students from their studies and undermine the objective of temporary foreign worker programs.

Miller previously floated the idea of setting the cap permanently at 30 hours a week. However, on Monday, the immigration minister said that would be too close to full-time hours. |
lol. Everyone knows nobody follows this and it is never enforced.
But good on the government!
