加拿大縮短留學生工時 業界：勞動力或短缺

The Canadian Ministry of Immigration plans to limit the working hours of international students every week. However, long-term dependence on international students' catering services and retail services may lead to a shortage of temporary workers. In 2023, Canada introduced about 900,000 international students. This employer provides a large number of temporary workers and helps to control operating costs. However, since April this year, Canada has limited international students' off-campus working hours from 40 hours a week to 20 hours. The shortage of temporary workers has caused concerns among catering services and retail services. I was doing 20 plus hours, but I would have done 40 hours because of the new policies. But on the student perspective, I don't think they have thought of that. Student perspective, because $20,000 is a very high amount. International students are also the cash flow of universities. The high tuition fees bring about 220 billion yuan to universities every year. Therefore, many international students have no choice but to rely on the additional income brought by temporary workers. We need to have international students coming in. It's a key group working in the industry for us. It represents 4.6% of all of our workers. The Canadian Ministry of Immigration promises to study more suitable policies before the restrictions are lifted to solve the economic difficulties that international students may face.
