Canada has stopped giving work permits ..is it true ??

[jaskaranjassal]

No, only 20 hours A WEEK. And the same was before.

i think they have cut down some opportunities ...Regina

Actually it's true. Canada has put a halt on LMOs (Labour Market Opinions) for certain occupations in the food services sector and has stopped issuing work permits for foreign workers in these categories. This halt does not impact post graduate work permits. Post graduate work permits are still being issued just as they were before.

But it's nothing to do with OCWP.

tht is a big lie ,,
lately i read the law for for foreigne students in canada about the work permit ,,, they did not stop it but they made some changes
they gave right for the student to work only 4 hours a day and a full time in the weekends

That`s ok, because if you are a full-time students, then you should pretty busy during the weekdays and don`t have time to do part-time job.

I have heard from my relatives who are in canada in their news paper they have read Canadaian Govt stopped giving work permits ?? is this news true ?? :-[ this will make students their difficult more over difficult to students who are dreaming to go their .

Not exactly. From June 1st Students would not need OCWP (Off Campus Work Permits) to work off campus any more. Instead they can use their study permits. If you check processing times on cic.gc.ca you will see that they are not accepting Off Campus Work Permit paper applications anymore
