Hello,

As an international student, I understand that I am limited to working 20 hours per week during the academic session. My employer mentioned that when they report my hours, they do so on a semi-monthly basis—from the 1st to the 15th, and from the 16th to the 30th or 31st, depending on the month. This doesn’t break down my hours by week, and I’m a bit concerned about compliance. While I haven’t exceeded the 20-hour limit, I would like to understand how IRCC ensures that students remain within this weekly restriction. Could someone provide clarification for this?

Why would you care if you don’t plan on breaking the rules :)
