Canada will temporarily allow international students to work more than 20 hours a week, in a bid to address ongoing labour shortages.
Speaking at a coffee shop in Ottawa Friday morning, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said the changes will start on Nov. 15 and be in effect until the end of 2023.
The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations welcomed the announcement, saying it was a step toward improving international students' educational experience. "The whole framing of the issue around labour shortage is problematic. Why are labour shortages a problem?" Skuterud said.
