The temporary policy allowing international students to work more than 20 hours per week off-campus ended on April 30, 2024

On April 29, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced an upcoming change to the off-campus work hours for international students. Recently, IRCC indicated that new rule is expected to take effect later in Fall 2024. For the time being, if you are enrolled full-time and are eligible to work under your study permit this Fall term, please ensure to restrict your off-campus work hours to 20 hours per week until further notice from IRCC. We will update this page as soon as we have more information to share.
