Opportunities are available for students to work on & off campus and gain Canadian experience.

• Working on Campus:
  If you are a full time student and have a valid study permit, you may work at the Campus of your institution without a work permit.
• Working off Campus:
  If you are a full time student at an eligible post secondary institution participating in the off campus work permit program and have been a student for at least 6 months
