Working in Canada while you study
Generally, foreign students are not allowed to work while studying in Canada.
However, there are some exceptions for full-time students at publicly funded or degree granting
institutions who may apply for work permits. A full-time student is a person whose program of study
is normally at least 15 hours of instruction per week, leading to a diploma or certificate, unless
otherwise defined by an educational institution. (Note: The definition of a full-time student varies
from one educational institution to another and you should refer to the guidelines of your educational
institution to ensure you are considered a full-time student.)
