Canada is all set to put a restriction on the number of working hours allowed to international students

In November, 2022, the government of Canada decided to introduce a pilot project under which students were allowed to work unlimited hours as part time workers. This plan was only eligible till 31st December, 2023. The strategy was introduced by the government of Canada primarily because of the labour shortage in the country. Now as we approach 31st December, 2023, Canada is ready to put a restriction on the number of hours. A student can work part time in Canada.

The rents and the cost of living in Canada has already increased a lot. In such a scenario, many students are worried about the ability to manage their expenses as they will only be allowed to work for some limited number of hours. Students worry about having to cut some important expenses or even taking support from their family members as the rents  are extremely expensive in Canada right now.
