Your study permit includes the work permit as well and you don’t need to apply for a special work permit to work off campus if
•You have a valid study permit
•You are a full-time student at a designated learning institute
•You have started studying
•You are in a program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate and is at least six months long and
•You have a Social Insurance Number (SIN)
If you are not a full-time student, you may still work off-campus if
•You have been a full-time student since you started your program in Canada and
•You are now studying part-time only because this is your last semester (and you don’t need a full course-load to complete your program).
If you qualify to work off-campus, you may work up to 20 hours per week:
You can work full-time:
•During scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break, and
•After you finish your studies if you have applied for any other work permit. |
