Generally, international students in Canada are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week during the academic term. However, there are some exceptions:
- Students enrolled in a co-op program: These programs are designed to provide students with practical work experience related to their studies. Students in co-op programs may be able to work full-time during their work terms.
- Students enrolled in certain programs: Some programs, such as graduate programs or programs with a significant research component, may allow students to work more than 20 hours per week.
- Students during the summer break: During the summer break, international students are allowed to work full-time (40 hours per week).
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and specific regulations may vary depending on the student's program of study, the institution they are attending, and their visa status. Students should always consult with their designated learning institution and Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for the most up-to-date information.
