Hey, so, my work term was replaced by a course which will start May 4th. I finished my winter semester five days ago. So I am in a two weeks break between April 21st and May 4th.

Furthermore, is my job considered essential service? I help customers process loans by reviewing their payrolls, etc (Customer service)

Am I in the good side? Is what I am doing against the regulations?

Please help

Whether the job is essential is irrelevant if you are on a scheduled break between terms.

Can a person work 40 hours (full time) or more with 2 different employers during a scheduled break (May to August semester break)??

Maximum working hours permitted
Students eligible to work under paragraph R186(v) can do the following:

  • work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions once they have commenced their program of study
  • work full time during regularly scheduled breaks between academic sessions regardless of their course load
Students may not work until they have commenced their program of study. They must actually commence studies in Canada at a DLI before being eligible to work off campus.

Further, regularly scheduled break is defined as
  • Regularly scheduled break: To be considered a regularly scheduled break, the break must be part of the DLI’s academic calendar (for instance, winter and summer holidays, Reading Week). Each regularly scheduled break should not be longer than 150 days. The maximum cumulative duration of scheduled breaks is 180 days per calendar year.
  • Off campus: Any location outside the boundaries of the campus of the educational institution at which the student is registered.

Thank you! In the absence of numbers on full time hours, I assume more than 40 hours is fine during scheduled break.

Yes, as long as you meet the above criteria, ie. you are on a scheduled break.
