Off-Campus Work 

International students enrolled in our private career program (Study & Work program) are eligible to work off-campus for up to part-time (20 hours per week) during their academic study terms and full-time (40 hours per week) during term breaks.

Please refer to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website for more details.

Co-op Work Permit 

Our work and study program includes a co-op or work placement. Therefore, international students are required to apply for both study permit and co-op work. A co-op work permit is a type of work permit that allows international students to complete the mandatory work experience including co-op work placement.

It is recommended that international students must submit the application for a co-op work permit next to their study permit.

A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a 9-digit number issued by Service Canada, a Canadian government department. International students must obtain a SIN before starting work in Canada for tax filing purposes.  

Please refer to Employment and Social Development Canada for applying for a SIN.
