Work Opportunities
On Campus
International students with a valid study permit have the opportunity to work on-campus at the institution where they enrolled. This work is generally limited to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. On campus work offers students a chance to earn some income while studying and provides exposure to the university environment.
Off Campus
Students with a study permit can also work-off campus. This entails gaining work experience beyond university campus. Like on-campus work, off campus work is typically limited to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during breaks. However students need to apply for a separate work permit for off campus work.
Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is a valuable opportunity for international students who have completed a program of study in Canada. It allows graduates to work in Canada for a period equivalent to the length of their program, up to a maximum of three years. This work permit is open, meaning graduates can work for any employer in Canada and can switch employers without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The PGWP is a great way for graduates to gain Canadian work experience and potentially transition to other immigration programs if they wish to stay in Canada permanently.
