In October 2022, IRCC temporarily removed the limit on off-campus work hours for students who met the eligibility requirements. On December 7th, 2023, this temporary policy was extended until April 30, 2024. IRCC also announced a second temporary policy that allows for a larger number of students to be eligible to work off-campus full-time starting January 1st, 2024. To find out if you can benefit from these policies, see the On and Off Campus Work tab in our Work FAQs.
Important Update on Off-campus Work: On March 12, 2018, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) published new guidelines concerning off-campus work.
For full details on all the changes to the off-campus work program for students, please see IRCC’s website.
* If your Study Permit was issued June 1, 2014, or later, it will likely include conditions and/or remarks that clearly state you are eligible to work on or off-campus if you meet the eligibility requirements. To be able to apply for a Social Insurance Number, these conditions must appear on your Study Permit.
If your Study Permit does not include a reference to your eligibility to work on or off-campus, you can submit a request for an amendment to your study permit to be able to apply for a Social Insurance Number. The Request to Amend can only be submitted by mail and there is no fee for this request. You can check the current processing time required for the Request to Amend.
** Please note that in order to work full-time during a scheduled break, you must be full-time*** before and after the scheduled break, with the exception of your last semester.
