Work while you Study

Working on Campus
Students are permitted to work on campus at the institution they are attending without a work permit. You may qualify for this if you are a full-time student at a public post-secondary school, university, or college or at a private post-secondary school, university, or college.

Working off Campus
Off-campus work permit program allows certain foreign students to work off campus while completing their studies. To qualify, you must be a full-time student enrolled at a participating publicly funded post-secondary institution or in an approved program at an eligible privately funded institution. Students may only apply for a work permit if they have been studying in Canada for a period of at least six months in the past twelve. Off Campus work permits authorize students to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week during regular school season, and full time during holidays and breaks from school.

Post-Graduation Work Permit
This special work permit program allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience.

Post-graduation work permits are issued for no longer than the length of the study program and are not issued for longer than three years. To apply for a Post-Graduation work permit, you must have completed a program with a minimum length of eight months.
