    +
      +
    • come with their parent or legal guardian or
      • +
    • have a custodian in Canada
      • +
    +

    + A custodian is a responsible adult, who is a Canadian citizen or a + permanent resident, who will take care of and support the minor child. A + custodian is optional for minors 17 years of age and older, but an + officer can request one on a case-by-case basis. +

    +

    How to appoint a custodian

    +

    + To appoint a custodian, send us the Custodianship Declaration form (PDF, + 1.02 MB), along with the minor child's study permit application. +

    +

    The 2 pages of the form look similar, but

    Who can work off campus

    + +

    You and your employer must make sure you can work off campus without a work permit before you start working. If you start working off campus but don’t meet the requirements, you may have to leave Canada.

    +

    You can only start working in Canada when your study program has started. You can’t work before you start your studies.

    +

    If you’re able to work during your studies, it’ll say so in the conditions on your study permit.

    +

    If you’re eligible for off-campus work, you don’t need a work permit.

    +

    Eligibility requirements

    + + + +

    You can work off campus without a work permit if you meet all of these requirements:

    + + +

    If you’re a part-time student at a DLI

    +

    You can work off campus only if:

    +
      +
    • you meet all of the requirements above, except the requirement to be a full-time student,
      • +
    • and
      • +
    • you’re only studying part-time, instead of full-time, because: +
        +
      • you’re in the last semester of your study program and you don’t need a full course load to complete your program and
        • +
      • you were a full-time student in your program in Canada, up until your last semester
        • +
      +
      • +
    +

    If you’re on an authorized leave

    +

    If you’re on an authorized leave from your studies, or you’re switching schools and you’re not studying, you can’t work off campus. You can only return to work once you’re back to studying.

    +

    Get a Social Insurance Number to work in Canada

    +

    A SIN is a 9 digit number that the Government of Canada gives you. You need one to work in Canada.

    +

    To apply for a SIN to work off campus, you must have 1 of these conditions printed on your study permit:

    +
      +
    • May work 20 hours per week off campus or full-time during regular breaks if meeting criteria outlined in paragraph 186(v) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.
      • +
    • May accept employment on or off campus if meeting eligibility criteria, per paragraph R186(f), (v) or (w) and must cease working if no longer meeting these criteria.
      • +
    +

    If your study permit doesn’t have work conditions on it

    +

    You can ask to have these conditions added if you’re eligible to work off campus. There’s no fee to add these conditions to your permit.

    +

    You’ll need to request an amendment to your study permit before you can apply for a SIN from Service Canada.

    +

    How many hours you can work off campus

    +

    During regular school terms/semesters

    +

    You can work up to 20 hours per week. You can work more than 1 job to make up these hours as long as you continue to meet the conditions of your study permit.

    + +
    +
    Who can work more than 20 hours per week off campus
    +

    From November 15, 2022, until December 31, 2023, you can work more than 20 hours per week off campus while class is in session if you meet certain requirements:

    +
    +If you applied for a study permit (or extension) on or before October 7, 2022 +

    You can work more than 20 hours per week off campus if you’re in any of the following situations:

    + + +
      +
    • You’re a study permit holder.
      • +
    • Your study permit has expired, but you have maintained your status and are studying at a DLI full-time (or part-time if it’s your final academic semester).
      • +
    • You’re approved for a study permit but haven’t arrived in Canada yet.
      • +
    +

    In addition, you must meet all of these requirements to be eligible:

    +
      +
    • You are in Canada or have re-entered Canada by December 31, 2023.
      • +
    • You must have one of the following conditions printed on your study permit: +
        +
      • May work 20 hours per week off campus or full-time during regular breaks if meeting criteria outlined in paragraph 186(v) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.
        • +
      • May accept employment on or off campus if meeting eligibility criteria, per paragraph R186(f), (v) or (w) and must cease working if no longer meeting these criteria.
        • +
      +
      • +
    +
    +

    If neither of these conditions is printed on your permit, you must request an amendment.

    +
    + +
    + +
    +If you applied for a study permit extension after October 7, 2022 +

    If your original study permit, which you’re applying to extend, expires between November 15, 2022, and December 31, 2023, you can work more than 20 hours per week off campus. You must stop working more than 20 hours per week on the day your original study permit expires.

    +

    You must also meet all of these requirements to be eligible:

    + +
      +
    • We received the application for your original study permit (which you’re applying to extend) on or before October 7, 2022.
      • +
    • You’re a study permit holder who is studying at a DLI full-time (or part-time if it’s your final academic semester).
      • +
    • You are in Canada or have re-entered Canada by December 31, 2023.
      • + +
    • You must have one of the following conditions printed on your study permit: +
        +
      • May work 20 hours per week off campus or full-time during regular breaks if meeting criteria outlined in paragraph 186(v) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.
        • +
      • May accept employment on or off campus if meeting eligibility criteria, but per paragraph R186(f), (v) or (w) and must cease working if no longer meeting these criteria.
        • +
      + +
      • +
    +
    +

    If neither of the conditions above is printed on your permit, you must request an amendment.

    +
    +

    When you must stop working over 20 hours off campus

    +

    You may be able to continue working over 20 hours off campus per week even after we approve your study permit extension application. The date you need to stop working more than 20 hours depends on the expiry date of your original study permit:

    +
      +
    • If your original study permit expires in 2023, you can work over 20 hours off campus until the day it expires.
      • +
    • If your original study permit expires in 2024, you can work over 20 hours off campus until December 31, 2023.
      • +
    +

    Note: If you’re no longer eligible to work more than 20 hours a week off campus, you may be able to work up to 20 hours per week under the standard eligibility requirements.

    +
    + +
    + + + +

    During scheduled breaks in the school year

    +

    You can work full-time if you’re on a scheduled break, such as winter and summer holidays, or a fall or spring reading week. You’re free to work overtime or work 2 part-time jobs that add up to a higher than usual number of hours.

    +

    You must be a full-time student both before and after the break to work full-time.

    +

    You can’t work during a break that comes before you start your very first school semester.

    +

    How many hours count as full-time work

    +

    There is no set number of hours per week that counts as ‘full-time’ work. However, your employer(s) must follow all provincial laws on overtime pay and time between shifts.

    +

    If your program doesn’t have scheduled breaks

    +

    You can work up to 20 hours per week.

    +
    +

    Working more than 20 hours per week is a violation of your study permit conditions. You can lose your student status for doing this, and may not be approved for a study or work permit in the future. You may also have to leave the country.

    +
    +

    How to calculate your hours

    +

    You’re responsible for both of the following:

    +
      +
    • keeping track of the hours that you work off campus and +
        +
      • Hours are defined as any time you spend earning wages or collecting a commission, even if you’re on call during these hours and not actually working.
        • +
      +
      • +
    • proving that you’re complying with the conditions of your study permit +
        +
      • To do this, you must show that you’re +
          +
        • actively pursuing your studies
          • +
        • not working more than 20 hours per week
          • +
        • meeting any other conditions listed on your study permit
          • +
        +
        • +
      +
      • +
    +
    Self-employed students
    +

    If you’re a self-employed person, you’re also responsible for keeping track of the hours you work off campus and proving that you’re complying with the conditions of your study permit.

    +

    Hours are calculated as any time you spend doing any of the following:

    +
      +
    • earning wages
      • +
    • being paid wages for performing a service or selling a product
      • +
    • collecting a commission for performing a service or selling a product
      • +
    +

    Who can’t work off campus

    +

    You can’t work off campus without a work permit if any of these situations apply to you:

    +
      +
    • your study permit says you aren’t authorized to work off campus while you study
      • +
    • you’re only enrolled in an English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL) program
      • +
    • you’re only taking general interest courses
      • +
    • you’re only taking courses required to be accepted into a full-time program
      • +
    • your situation changes and you no longer meet all of the requirements to work off campus
      • +
    +

    If any of these situations apply to you, and you want to work while studying in Canada, you need to apply for a work permit.

    +

    If your study situation changes

    +

    If you weren’t eligible to work off campus, but your study situation has now changed, you may be able to change the conditions of your study permit.

    +

    You can apply to change the conditions of your permit if:

    +
      +
    • you’ve changed your study program to one that may allow you to work off campus and 
      • +
    • your study permit says “This permit does not permit the holder to engage in off-campus employment in Canada”
      • +
    +

    OR

    +
      +
    • we included a condition on your study permit that may no longer apply
      • +
    +

    Example: You have a study permit to complete prerequisite courses, such as an ESL or FSL course. You’re then accepted into a full-time study program. This would mean you could apply to have the condition (not being allowed to work off campus) removed from your study permit.

    +

    You must apply to change the conditions of your study permit. There’s a fee to make this change. You must change the conditions on your permit before you can apply for a SIN.

    +

    Changing the conditions on your study permit

    +

    You’ll need to apply for a new study permit from within Canada.

    +

    When you apply online, your personalized checklist will include the Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Student [IMM 5709]. On that form, check the box to Apply for a study permit for the first time or extend my study permit and fill out the rest of the required fields.

    +

    Include a letter with your application explaining why you need the condition removed from your study permit.

    +

    Working after you complete your study program

    +

    After you complete your study program, there are 2 ways you may be able to work full-time:

    +
      +
    • you already applied for a work permit before your study permit expired or
      • +
    • you’re starting a new study program
      • +
    +

    You need to meet all the requirements listed below to work full-time. If we refuse your work or study permit application, you must stop working and leave Canada.

    +

    If you already applied for a work permit

    +

    You can work full-time if you meet all of these requirements:

    +
      +
    • You were already able to work off campus during your studies
      • +
    • You applied for a work permit or post-graduation work permit (PGWP) before your study permit expired
      • +
    • You’re waiting for a decision on your work permit application
      • +
    +

    If you’re starting a new study program

    +

    You can work full-time if you meet all of these requirements:

    +
      +
    • You were already able to work off campus during your previous studies
      • +
    • You have a valid study permit or you applied to extend your study permit before it expired
      • +
    • You received written confirmation from your current school that you completed your program
      • +
    • You received a letter of acceptance to a new full-time study program at a DLI
      • +
    • You’ll start your new program within 150 calendar days of receiving the confirmation that you completed your previous program
      • +
    +

    Working outside Canada

    +

    You can work remotely for an employer outside Canada as long as you still meet the conditions of your study permit. This type of work doesn’t count towards your 20 hours per week off-campus work limit.
