No More 20-Hour Limit for Student Work Permit Employees

Student working

Companies who have workers on their team that hold student work permits are about to have more options to expand their labour force. To help carry our economy through the extreme labour shortages we’re all currently experiencing, student work permit holders will no longer be restricted to the traditional 20 hours per week that they were previously. Please reach out to our team at ABL Employment if you would like to discuss how this new option can help you meet your business goals for the rest of this year and into 2023.

Starting Nov. 15, a previous limit of 20 hours per week that eligible students enrolled in full-time studies were allowed to work off campus will no longer apply. The temporary measures will remain in place until the end of 2023.
