The number of hours you can work on a study permit in Canada depends on your program of study.
Off-Campus Work Limits:
- Full-time students: Can work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions.
- Part-time students: Can work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions.
- Students on a break: Can work full-time during breaks between academic sessions (e.g., summer break, winter break).
Note: These are general guidelines. Specific work hours may vary depending on the province or territory you are studying in.
On-Campus Work:
Students on a study permit can work unlimited hours on campus in jobs related to their studies.
Finding Work:
- Campus job boards: Most universities and colleges have online job boards where you can find on-campus work opportunities.
- Online job search sites: You can also use online job search sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor to find both on-campus and off-campus jobs.
Applying for a Work Permit:
You do not need to apply for a separate work permit if you are working within the limits allowed on your study permit. However, you may need to obtain a Social Insurance Number (SIN) to work in Canada.
