Canada has made six new rules for
international students starting in 2025. These changes aim to make the system
fair and help students match their education with job needs in Canada. Students
can now work up to 24 hours a week off-campus, and applying for work permits at
the border is no longer allowed. The fast-track Student Direct Stream (SDS)
program has ended, and stricter rules apply for spouses’ work permits. Study
permit applications must now be done online. These rules help students focus on
studies and prepare for jobs in high-demand fields in Canada.
