International students in Canada can now work 24 hours per week off-campus during academic sessions, up from the previous 20-hour limit. This change took effect on November 15 and aims to balance work opportunities with academic priorities.
Unlimited work hours remain allowed on-campus and during academic breaks.

Students must now apply for a new study permit before transferring schools, replacing the previous simpler update process. This change strengthens the program’s integrity.
