Pretty much, you will probably get a 27 months study permit and then when/if you graduate, you apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit.  If you wish to work off campus and you meet the criteria after 6 months, then you can apply for a work permit then.  Which allows you to work 20 hours per week during semesters and full time during breaks.
