As far as I understand, an immigrant at a DLI with a study permit is allowed to work up to twenty hours off-campus, so long as they are in good academic standing and a full-time student. Are part-time students allowed to work? If so, are they allowed to work more than twenty hours?

Part time students are generally not allowed to work.

You'll need to provide more information about why you are part time, what you are studying and where, at how far along you are in your studies.

Scylla is right.

- You need to be full-time
- You can only work 20+ hrs during vacation time

You should be financeable capable of pursuing the studies you want (own/scholarship).
