OTTAWA — 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.
That waiver expires tomorrow.
The work hours limit will return to 20 hours per week until September when the government can implement a permanent change to make it 24 hours.
