    Is the 20 hour work week still in effect?

    This is my first week back after summer break and I've been scheduled for 23 hrs since my employer assumed we can now work 24hrs. But I've been reading some articles and it seems there is not a set date for the implementation of the 24-hour work week. Can anyone confirm?

    IRCC requesting biometrics fee for study permit extension???

    UPDATE: After 8 months, my permit extension was finally approved. The worst part is that my name was incorrect on the application so I could not get my biometrics done and after multiple calls and webforms, they finally updated my profile with my old biometrics and approved everything in like 2...

    Job hunting on maintained status

    Thank you so much for the information. However, I wasn't clear in the original post. I am still studying and applying for a study permit extension. I just wanted to know if companies would be interested in an applicant on maintained status.

    IRCC requesting biometrics fee for study permit extension???

    Since I've gotten no replies, I went ahead and contacted IRCC. It wasn't as long a wait as I'd expected and I spoke to an agent. He said I would need to make the payment and wait for biometric instructions which makes no sense since I have a letter stating my biometrics are valid until 2031. He...

    Hello, Everyone, I am an international student who is currently in Canada.

    Self-employment and the 20hrs rule for an artist.

    Hey guys. I was recently approved for a study permit and intend to travel in late August. I can of course get a normal job while I'm in Canada to help with living expenses but I'm a creative at heart. I've published a couple of short fiction and have instagram pages for my art and photography...

    Ircc doc mixup? Or am i crazy?

    Hey. I applied for a study permit and got a medical request in almost two weeks. On the tracker my biometrics are completed (did before), eligibility is completed, background still in progress. Then I got an update that my medical was in progress. I haven't even booked the appointment as yet and...

    What mistakes? It's often better to get ahead of it in my opinion. Did you raise a webform?

    Applied for a student visa but enrolled in another program

    Hello, I recently submitted my application for a study permit for Sept 2023. The thing is, before deciding to study in Canada, I applied for an online course through a government program. They took FOREVER to get started and I got frustrated and did not sign the final contract. Surprisingly, I...
