Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work while studying in Canada?

Yes, you can work while studying in Canada under certain conditions. Your study permit may allow you to work on or off campus without needing a separate work permit.

Key conditions include:

  • Eligible institution: You must be enrolled full-time at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
  • Off-campus work: Up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks (e.g., winter or summer holidays).
  • On-campus work: You can work unlimited hours on campus if eligibility conditions are met.
  • Internships or co-op programs: If your program includes mandatory work experience, you’ll need a co-op work permit in addition to your study permit.

Specific rules may vary based on your program or institution. For tailored guidance, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.
