Rights Beyond Borders: Improve employment policies for international students
We want the government to change the employment restriction policies imposed on international students holding a student visa.
- Increase the cap on working hours from 20 to 30 hours per week, allowing students to support themselves financially and gain work experience.
- Allow international students to engage in independent work and create small businesses.
- Provide full-time work flexibility by allowing them to work full-time not only during holidays but also during intermission periods.
- Extend the intermission period from 59 to 120 days to grant students time to manage their studies and prevent burnout.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
