Study Permit without authorization of working off campus

When I received my study permit, on the remarks, it stated that THIS PERMIT DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE HOLDER TO ENGAGE IN OFF CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA. I study for culinary and baking course, I do want to gain some local experience but now it seems that I am not allowed to work. However, I checked with several classmates and they are all allowed to work off campus in their study permits. Is there anything wrong with my application from CIC point of view? If I want to change to study to another school later, will it be difficult for me to get the next study permit?

I don't think there is anything wrong with your study permit. I am not sure why CIC gives some students the R186 exemption condition, and gives other students the "does not permit" condition. It might be a matter of internal policy.

What I do know is, this statement does not prevent you from applying for a work permit. It is only saying that you do not automatically get R186 off-campus authorization to work. If you want to work off-campus, you can still apply for a work permit separately and I don't think there is necessarily any reason that you would not qualify.

EDIT: IRCC (vaguely) explains the policy here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/updates/2015-02-02-2.html

What if you have the following text printed in your study permit below and there after graduate and apply for a PGWP. Are you allowed to accept full-time employment while waiting for your PGWP
  • This permit does not authorize the holder to engage in off campus employment in Canada.

I got the same problem but only after I renew my study permit. When I first entered Canada I got my study permit which allowed me to work off campus. The new one does not thou.

I am so worrying now as I am having an off campus part-time job. Anyone please advise if you know a way. Thank you very much.
