You will also be eligible to work off-campus for more than 20 hours a week if any of the following apply to you between November 15, 2022, and April 30, 2024 and between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2024:

Canada has set a limit on the number of international students annually and is limiting the eligibility for spousal open work permits (SOWPs) and post-graduation work permits (PGWPs) by reducing temporary residents.
The new reforms on increasing the work hours from 20 to 30 for international students will benefit them with the reduction of PGWPs and SOWPs and the international students will be prepared for success.
