Study and Work in Canada |
|
On-Campus Work:
You may work on
campus at the institution where you study without a work permit, if you are
a full-time student at a publicly-funded post-secondary institution or a
private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees.
You require a work permit if the intended employment is an essential and
integral part of your course of study (this does not apply to accounting
students, medical interns or medical residents); or if the intended
employment is related to an approved research or training program.

Off-Campus Work - NEW!:
The
Off-Campus Work Permit Program allows foreign students at some
publicly-funded post-secondary educational institutions in Canada to
work off campus while completing their studies. For eligibility and
requirements see the Working Off-Campus section of the Citizenship and
Immigration Canada website.

Post-Graduation Work
The post-graduation work program allows some
graduating students to gain Canadian work experience in their field of
study. Since May 16, 2005, this program has allowed certain students to work
for up to two years after their graduation. For eligibility and requirements
visit the
Post-Graduation Work Permits
section of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

Note: In some circumstances,
the work permit may be valid for less time than the length of your studies. |

May
I leave Canada and return?
Yes. However,
should your student authorization expire while you are out of Canada, you
may not be allowed to return to study. If you initially required a visitor
visa in addition to a study permit, you will be able to return to Canada
providing your visa, passport and study permit are valid. |
