Working more than 20 hrs

[Marrin1]

Hello, are there any stories of international students working more than 20 hrs during school time? How big of an issue is it?

of course. cbc news has plenty of such stories. and stories of these law breakers suing the government to be allowed to stay on in canada and get their pgwp even though they knowingly broke the law. in fact for some, i would argue that they already knew before coming to canada that they have insufficient funds and thus would have to break the law in this way.

and the sad part is that they are even people who aid such law breakers to stay in canada and basically screw over those who chose to obey the law

why did you ask though....? 0_o

today i found this article

But i cannot fully read it bc I'm not not subscribe.
I'm curious to know how bad it went for them

20 hours/ week is applicable to off campus work. But you can work unlimited hours if it's on campus

Wow i didn't know that. I always thought it was 20 hrs on/off campus.
So international students are allowed to work up to 20 hrs off campus plus an on campus job?
