Get work experience while you study
You may be eligible to work in Canada while studying, if your study permit includes a condition that says you can work on or off campus. You must also meet all other requirements.
In November 2022, the Government of Canada temporarily lifted the cap on the number of hours that eligible international post-secondary students are allowed to work off-campus until December 31, 2023. Please refer to the Government of Canada website for the most update-to-date and accurate information.
International students may also be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after they successfully complete their degree program. For more details and current regulations, visit the Citizen and Immigration Canada website at www.cic.gc.ca.
