Canada Is Examining Implementing A 30-Hour Work Policy For Foreign Students
Canada Is Examining Implementing A 30-Hour Work Policy For Foreign Students:
The Canadian Minister of Immigration has unveiled and announced a number of initiatives to enhance the program for international students starting in 2024.
Future cohorts of international students will benefit from the reforms, which include raising the cost of living from January 1, 2024, and requiring a provincial attestation letter (PAL) from a province or territory.

Nonetheless, some who want to study abroad in Canada have expressed their displeasure with the most recent modifications to the spousal open work permit (SOWP) and post-graduation work permit (PGWP).
These are contentious new changes, and we value all viewpoints. Another important lesson from this declaration was that there was hope for overseas students studying in Canada.
Additionally, it was stated by Immigration Minister Marc Miller that qualifying students would be able to continue working full-time after graduation through the end of April 2024.

Additionally, it was stated by Immigration Minister Marc Miller that qualifying students would be able to continue working full-time after graduation through the end of April 2024.
The main reason for this is that students who are presently qualified for full-time employment must put in more than 20 hours a week in order to pay for their expenditures.
Additionally, according to the press release, the IRCC is exploring other options and may add up to 30 hours to the weekly working hours of international students.
Who Is Able to Work Full-Time Through April 2024?
A temporary regulation allowing international students to study during class as long as they meet specific requirements to work more than 20 hours per week was announced by former immigration minister Sean Fraser.
He did not impose a ceiling on the amount of hours, so as long as they fulfilled the requirements of their study programs, overseas students were free to work as many hours as they wanted.
However, he established requirements, and not every overseas student was qualified for a full-time job.
Up to April 30, 2024, only candidates who satisfied the following requirements were eligible for a study permit:
You may work off campus for more than 20 hours per week between November 15, 2022, and April 30, 2024, provided that your study permit application (or extension) was received by the IRCC by October 7, 2022, and any of the following apply to you:
You have a study permit and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if this is your final semester of study) at a DLI.
You have maintained your status and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if it's your final semester) in classes at a DLI notwithstanding the expiration of your study visa.
Additionally, you must meet each and every one of the following prerequisites:
If the IRCC received the study permit application (or extension) between October 8, 2022, and December 7, 2023
If the IRCC received the study permit application (or extension) between October 8, 2022, and December 7, 2023
You may work off campus for more than 20 hours per week between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2024, if any of the following apply to you:
You have a study permit and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if this is your final semester of study) at a DLI.
You have maintained your status and are enrolled full-time (or part-time if it's your final semester) in classes at a DLI notwithstanding the expiration of your study visa.
You have been given permission to study in Canada, but you haven't arrived yet.
After December 7, 2023, anyone who applied for a study visa or an extension with the IRCC is not allowed to work more than 20 hours.
Will Canada allow international students to work thirty hours a week?

Immigration Minister Marc Miller's new measures for foreign students are like medicine: they're a little harsh at first, but everyone will benefit from them, even the international students.
Canada has implemented an annual quota on the number of international students, which also limits the number of temporary residents eligible for spousal open work permits (SOWPs) and post-graduation work permits (PGWPs).
It would appear that extending the working hours for overseas students from 20 to 30 hours will somewhat offset the overall decline in SOWP and PGWP numbers.

It will also "set up international students for success," as the minister of immigration said.
At least some of the gap left by the fewer foreign students entering Canada as a result of new reforms will be filled with the reduction of international students, PGWP, and SOWP holders, as well as the increase in work hours from 20 to 30 hours.
