Are we allowed to work(20-hours) from the first day we land for January 2014 students .
 
2. Student eligibility criteria for the OCWP Program
Students are considered eligible if they:

possess a valid study permit;
attend a participating educational institution;
have maintained a satisfactory academic standing;
have studied full-time for at least six months out of the 12 months preceding their application;
have signed consents authorizing the exchange of personal information between the institution, the provincial or territorial government, and CIC. The signing of the consent occurs as part of the online request for verification of eligibility;
continue to fulfill the terms and conditions of their study permit and work permit, as applicable; and
continue to meet the eligibility requirements while participating in the program.
Examples of six months of full-time studies:

Students who begin full-time studies in September and continue through to the end of February (with the exception of the December break) would be eligible to apply for a work permit in March (September to February = six months), provided that they are still enrolled in full-time studies and are in satisfactory academic standing at the time of application.
Students who begin full-time studies in January but are not enrolled in full-time studies during certain summer months would not be eligible to apply for a work permit until they had completed a full six months of studies. Students studying full-time from January until the end of April, who take a four month summer break and then resume full-time studies in September, would be eligible to apply in November (January to April, plus September and October = six months).
A student studying from September to December followed by a co-op work term from January to April. If the institution considers students of co-op work terms to have full-time status and if the student continues to comply with the institution’s co-op rules, the student will be eligible to apply for the work permit as early as March (September to February = six months).

wrong ..thats not the official website and more over it say proposed change ....it has not happened yet and may not happen....
 
Ali it says proposed not enforced ,, so till now he can't ,,, hope they don't encore because there are few strict regulations too,,, like a international student can not drop semester ,,, that very bad for coop internship,,, so I pray they don't enforce,,,
 
An official confirmation is needed..
Without that its just all in the air..
