Your study permit includes a condition that says if you can work on or off campus. You must also meet all the other requirements. You can only start working in Canada after you start your study program and not before your studies begin.

Work on or off campus

As a study permit holder, you may be able to work on-campus or off-campus without getting a work permit. Make sure you meet the requirements before you find a job.

You can work on your school campus, without a work permit, if you:

• are a full-time post-secondary student at a
• public post-secondary school, such as a college, university, trade or technical school, or CEGEP in Quebec
• private post-secondary school in Quebec that operates under the same rules as public schools in Quebec
• private or public secondary or post-secondary institution in Quebec offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diploma of vocational studies (DVS) or an attestation of vocational specialization (AVS)
• Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law (for example, associate degree, bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or doctorate), but only if the student is enrolled in a study program leading to a degree authorized by the province
• This may not include all programs of study offered by the private institution.
• have a valid study permit or maintained status
• have printed conditions on your initial study permit allowing you to work on campus and
• have a social insurance number (SIN)

Students with a part-time course load in their final semester

If you were a full-time student in every semester of your program, but you’re studying part-time in your final semester to finish your required coursework, you can still work an unlimited number of hours on campus.

You can work off campus without a work permit if you meet all of these requirements:

• You're a full-time student at a designated learning institution (DLI)
• You're enrolled in either of the following
• a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program or
• a secondary-level vocational training program (Quebec only)
• Your study program
• is at least 6 months long and
• leads to a degree, diploma or certificate
• You've started studying
• You have a social insurance number (SIN)

If you're a part-time student at a DLI

You can work off campus only if:

• you meet all of the requirements above, except the requirement to be a full-time student,
• and
• you're only studying part-time, instead of full-time, because:
• you're in the last semester of your study program and you don't need a full course load to complete your program and
• you were a full-time student in your program in Canada, up until your last semester
