Want to Live, Study, and Work in Canada? Labor Shortage Makes Country Flexible on Working Hours, See What Has Changed!

Never before have the resumes of Brazilians and other immigrants been so desired by Canadian companies as they are now, the country is suffering from a labor shortage and to try to ease the situation, the Canadian government has decided to relax, starting this month, the work rules for international students, lifting the hour limits for work allowed for international students enrolled in higher education courses. 

Before the measure adopted by the Government, the limit was 20 hours of work per week during class periods and 40 hours during vacations. The statement signed by Canada’s immigration minister, Sean Fraser, says that the measure aims to alleviate the labor shortage faced by the country, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is an entry point for Brazilian students who want to live in Canada, as the student visa issued in Brazil allows work even after the course completion.

Remember that when considering an exchange program to a country like Canada, it’s important to evaluate all possible factors; the institution in Saskatoon, for example, is located in the central-west region, and temperatures range from -19ºC to 26ºC. Other points such as the job market are also relevant, but we will address that shortly.

Canada admits Brazilians and immigrants to fill nearly one million job vacancies in construction, logistics, healthcare, and more; there is no age limit for applicants! According to Statistics Canada, there are over 915 thousand job vacancies for a solid career in the country, where professionals seeking new horizons in various fields, positions, and levels are being called.

In six months, some sectors have seen a more significant increase in the number of vacancies. Among them:

  • Construction – 110 thousand vacancies
  • Logistics and Supply – 122 thousand vacancies
  • Healthcare and Social Assistance – 62 thousand vacancies

And the country needs immigrants to fill the open positions. In addition to having one of the lowest birth rates in the world, its population is also one of the oldest globally, with 18% being 65 years or older.
