International students in Canada can now work up to 24 hours per week off-campus while their classes are in session.

Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Marc Miller confirmed that the new regulations have taken effect as of November 15.

Prior to this change, the limit was 20 hours per week.

In April 2024, Miller announced that the number of off-campus work hours for international students would be increasing to 24 hours in the fall, but did not say what date the change would take effect.

According to Miller, this 24-hour cap struck “the appropriate balance so students have the option to work without compromising academic outcomes.”
