GWG.ng reports that this announcement marks a significant shift in work schedule as it will further support international students in Canada. It further recognizes their valuable contributions to the country’s academic and cultural landscape. The increased work hours will enable students to gain more comprehensive experience, build their skills, and contribute to Canada’s economy.

GWG.ng reports that Canada which provides a welcoming and diversified environment has of late been a destination for many Nigerians seeking relief for further education. The previous 20-hour per week work schedule for International Students in Canada had in any case supported many Nigerians who used it to support the remittances from their home country.
