Working in Saskatchewan As An International Student

The federal government has temporarily lifted the cap on off-campus work hours for international students. Previous to this lift, international students who worked more than 20 hours per week off-campus were in violation of their study permit conditions.

This half-time work cap has historically raised concerns of reduced earning potential, work experience, and quality of life. We’ve had clients with off-campus jobs who have had to turn down requests from their employers to put in more hours. Now they don’t have to.
