Canada announces a reduction in off-campus work hours for international students from 40 to 24 per week, affecting a significant number of Indian students. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marc Miller, highlights the need to prioritize studies amid a surge in international student enrolments, including over 300,000 Indian students. The move follows the end of a temporary policy allowing students to work more than 20 hours weekly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Recent studies show academic performance decline beyond 24 hours of work per week, impacting Indian students who often rely on part-time work to support their studies.
