International students studying in Canada who have off-campus permission to work on their study permit are permitted to work more than 20 hours per week off-campus while courses are in session from November 15, 2022 to December 31, 2023. Foreign nationals who have already applied for a study permit as of today are also subject to this temporary measure. If their application is accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, they will also be able to take advantage of this policy. Sean Fraser, Canada's minister of immigration, has unveiled a fresh temporary solution to the country's long-standing labour shortages. According to Fraser, this will enable the over 500,000 international students already residing in Canada to possibly apply for more hours of employment. This significant change was introduced in Ottawa, the nation's capital, by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser. The policy aims to address the labour shortages that are currently occurring across Canada. Canada is struggling with historically high labour shortages and a historically low unemployment rate. This morning, Statistics Canada announced that the country's unemployment rate decreased to 5.2% in September from 5.4% in August. The Canadian government has temporarily relaxed this restriction in response to the country's almost one million employment openings. On October 12, 2022, Canada held its most recent all-program Express Entry draw. Since they started on July 6, it was the eighth all-program draw. IRCC invited 4250 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 500. A pattern of lower CRS scores continued in today's draw. It improves the number of individuals who are qualified to obtain ITAs through Express Entry by decreasing the CRS score. This has been the pattern, since draws reopened on July 6. Smaller drops of six points occurred in the two most recent draws on September 14 and September 28.
Currently, international students who enroll to study in a Canadian educational program are entitled to receive permission to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week while they are enrolled in classes. During predetermined periods, such as the summer and winter holidays, this restriction is lifted. This strategy enables foreign students to sustain themselves financially and aims to keep them focused on finishing their education rather than finding employment in Canada.
