Not really bro, you obviously don't know what the new regulations we all have been waiting for mean.usman_14pk said:
CIC site says "To work off campus, you must apply for a work permit" while with the new regulations that will take effect on June 1, international students will be able to work off-campus without even applying for a work permit, in other words, if you have your study permit, you're automatically allowed to work up to 20 hours per week.

Regulatory amendments to work permit programs
(...)
The Regulations also allow full-time students pursuing an academic, professional or vocational training program at a designated learning institution to work off-campus without a work permit. Off-campus work is allowed for up to 20 hours per week during the regular academic session and full time during regularly scheduled academic breaks. This represents time and cost savings to students who no longer need to apply and pay for a separate work permit and for CIC, as officers will no longer process off-campus work permit applications. This amendment replaces the existing program design, which requires study permit holders to wait six months after beginning their program of study before applying separately for an off-campus work permit.

"Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transition to post-graduation work, these study permit holders may also work full time upon completion of their degree, diploma or certificate if an application has been made for a work permit prior to the expiration of their study permit and until a decision on the work permit has been made."

"The new rules take effect June 1st.
Those who start studying in may have to wait until June 1st.
Those who start in September 2014 don't have to wait.
Those who started jan 2014, have to wait until June 1st.
Those who started studying Sept 2013 have to wait until march 2014."
Also, now you don't need to apply for work permit. They will not process off-campus work permit applications anymore. You can simple start working off-campus from June. It will be more clear in coming time when this information will be updated on CIC website.
If a guy get a Study Permit and the classes start in September.
If the same guy goes to Canada in June.
Even if the classes start only in September, but he already hold a SP, he can work part-time since June?
I am thinking in this situation, because you can understand that if you hold a SP you will be able to work without a OCWP.
What you think guys?
