Hello, I wanted to ask since the wording of the statement on the IRCC website confuses me, am I eligible to work more than 20 hours a week as I applied for an extension of my permit by October 2023 and got it approved December 4th 2023. So just to confirm I’m eligible to work more than 20 hours or no?

If your original study permit, which you’re applying to extend, expires between November 15, 2022, and December 31, 2023, you can work more than 20 hours per week off campus. You must stop working more than 20 hours per week on the day your originalstudy permit expires.

And also This:

  • The waiver on the 20-hour-per-week limit on the number of hours international students are allowed to work off campus while class is in session will be extended to April 30, 2024. International students already in Canada, as well as applicants who have already submitted an application for a study permit as of December 7, 2023, will be able to work off campus more than 20 hours per week until that time. We continue to examine options for this policy in the future, such as expanding off-campus work hours for international students to 30 hours per week while class is in session.

I would say yes.
