IMPACT – MEDIUM
The Canadian government has announced that it will temporarily lift its limit on off-campus work hours for study permit holders.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Canadian authorities are launching a pilot program to automate the processing of study permit extension applications this month. The program will initially be available to a small group of applicants who could see their study permit extension processed more quickly. If the pilot is successful, the program will be made available to more foreign students to reduce application processing times.
BAL Analysis: The Canadian government lifted the limit on off-campus work hours to help address labor market shortages and help foreign students gain work experience in Canada. BAL will provide more information as it becomes available.
