Yes, in Canada, international students are generally allowed to work while they are studying, provided they meet certain conditions. The regulations may vary based on the type of study permit you have and the institution you are attending. Here are some key points:.

Off-Campus Work:

International students with a valid study permit are usually allowed to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks.

Co-op and Internship Programs:

Some study programs include work components, such as co-op or internship programs. If your program is eligible, you may be able to work full-time during these work terms.

On-Campus Work:

International students can work on-campus without a work permit if they are registered as full-time students at a designated learning institution.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP):

After completing your studies, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), allowing you to work in Canada for a duration equal to the length of your study program, up to a maximum of three years.

It's important to note that immigration policies can change, and it's advisable to check with the official website of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consult with your designated learning institution's international student office for the most up-to-date information.

Always ensure that you comply with the conditions of your study permit to avoid any legal issues. If you have specific questions about your situation, consider seeking advice from Sabz Canadian Immigration Services Inc.
