Canada Part-Time Work Hours for International Student: If you live in Canada or are dreaming of going there, then read this news first. It is especially important for those who want to go to Canada for studies or are studying there to read this news. Your problems are going to increase. Canada's new immigration rules are going to put a check on international students. Obviously, this will have a direct impact on Indian students, because their number is high there.
Canada Working Hours: What's the New Rule?
The Justin Trudeau government has set a limit on the working hours of students from this month. In such a situation, students may have to face financial difficulties. Under Canada's new federal rule, international students will now be able to work a maximum of 24 hours a week outside the college campus. Earlier this limit was 20 hours, but during the COVID pandemic, the Canadian government had abolished the limit on working hours. However, this limit on working hours does not apply during summer or winter vacations. (Photo- Freepik)
Why did Canada change the rules?
IRCC Canada said in April, 'In making these changes, we took into account the needs of students, policies of other countries and research that shows that the more you work while studying, the worse it will affect your academic performance. This rule also strikes a right balance so that students have the option to work without compromising their academic performance.' (Photo-Freepik)
What did the Canadian Immigration Minister say?
Then Canada's Immigration Minister Mark Miller had said that 'Most like-minded countries have good policies and they limit the working hours of international students. Canada's rules also need to be linked to them. Otherwise, the number of such people in our study program will increase whose main purpose is not to study but to work.' (Photo – Freepik)
Jobs and Salaries in Canada
According to a report, since most jobs are eight-hour jobs, students will only be able to do three part-time jobs every week. The minimum wage in Canada is 17.36 Canadian dollars (Rs 1078) per hour. International students were already troubled by skyrocketing rents and lack of housing in Canada. This ban on work will make it even more difficult for them to meet their expenses, especially in big cities like Toronto. (Photo- Freepik)
Indians get the most student visas from Canada!
This limit on working hours is likely to have the worst impact on Indian students in Canada. This North American country issued 10,28,850 student visas in 2023. Of these, 37 percent i.e. 5,79,075 Canada visas were issued to Indians. This number was the highest compared to any other nationality. At the same time, only 1,07,070 Indian students got Canadian student visa in 2018. (Photo- Freepik)
