STUDENT WORK PERMIT
REGISTERED AND LICENSED CANADIAN IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT IN NANAIMO, BC
Students can usually work on the university or college campus where they are studying without a work permit (ex: teaching assistant, researcher, campus bookstore clerk, restaurant attendant, and more).
As of June 1, 2014, IRCC allows certain students to work off campus without work permit for up to 20 hours a week during a regular academic session and full time during regularly scheduled breaks, provided that:
- They hold a valid study permit;
- They are full-time students enrolled at a designated learning institution;
- The program in which they are enrolled is a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program, or a vocational training program at the secondary level offered in Quebec;
- The program of study is at least six month or more in duration and one that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate; and
- They continue to fulfil the terms and conditions of their study permit, as well as the conditions to engage in off campus work (e.g., work no more than 20 hours a week during a regular academic session).
Graduates of qualifying Canadian schools may be eligible for an open work permit for up to three years, depending on the program of study and duration of study. There are also strict time limits for applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
Students are ineligible if any of the following apply:
- They are participating in one of the following:
- They are a visiting or exchange student;
- They are registered in a general interest program; or
- They are registered in an English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL) program.
