Off-campus work permit program
To be eligible for a work permit under this program you must meet all of the following requirements.
You must:
*possess a valid study permit;
*have studied full-time and maintained satisfactory academic standing in your specific program of study at a participating institution for at least six out of the twelve months preceding your application to work off campus (the six months do not have to be consecutive);
*have applied for the off-campus work permit program at a participating institution;
*have been, and continue to be, registered as a full-time student in a program other than English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL);
Note: Full-time status and satisfactory academic standing are determined by your institution. You must complete a Request for Initial Eligibility Verification for an Off-Campus Work Permit from your school which will verify your standing and eligibility. This request is only available via MyCIC, your space on Citizenship and Immigration Canada's website. Your school's Designated Institutional Representative will verify your eligibility and inform you via MyCIC.
*have authorized the disclosure of personal information between the institution, the provincial or territorial government and Citizenship and Immigration Canada;
Note: In order to participate in this program, you will need to authorize the disclosure of personal information between your institution, the provincial or territorial government and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. This disclosure will be part of the Electronic Verification Number (EVN) process completed through MyCIC. Failure to acknowledge disclosure of this information will result in not obtaining an Off-Campus Work Permit.
*and continue to fulfil the terms and conditions of your study permit and work permit, if applicable.
You are not eligible to apply for a work permit under this program if you:
*have previously held an off-campus work permit, failed to maintain your eligibility for the program and failed to comply with the conditions of your work or study permit;
*have a partial or full scholarship or award from:
-the Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT);
-the Government of Canada Awards Program funded by DFAIT;
-the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA);
-the Equal Opportunity Scholarship Program, Canada-Chile;
-the Canada-China Scholars Exchanges Program;
-the Organization of American States Fellowship Program;
*are a visiting student or exchange student at a participating institution; or
are registered in programs that consist either exclusively, or primarily, of English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL).
Note: An off-campus work permit issued under this program is
not interchangeable with a work permit for internships or co-op placements.
However, students wishing to participate in both programs
may apply for a work permit under each program, as there is
no restriction on holding more than one work permit. You must
pay the separate fees for each permit.
Important Information
If your status has expired or you did not respect the conditions of your previous permit, and you now require restoration of status, do not submit an application for an off-campus work permit. You are required to restore your status as a student prior to submission of this application. Should your request for restoration be approved, you may then submit this application. Submitting your off-campus work permit application prior to restoration being granted will result in delays in the processing of your work permit.
The following examples can help you determine if you are eligible to apply under this program.
*If you begin full-time studies in September and continue through to the end of February (with the exception of the Christmas break) then you are eligible to apply for a work permit in March because you will have completed 6 months of full-time study.
*If you begin full-time studies in January through April, but are not enrolled in full-time studies during certain summer months then you are not eligible to apply for a work permit until you complete 6 months of full-time studies.
*If you begin full-time studies from the beginning of January until the end of June
then you are eligible to apply for a work permit in July because you will have completed 6 months of full-time study.
*If you begin full-time studies from January until the end of April, then take a four month summer break but resume full-time studies in September then you are eligible to apply in November because you will have completed 6 months of full-time study in total from January to April, and September to October.
*If you are pursuing full time studies from September to December followed by a co-op work term from January to April.
** If the institution considers students on co-op work terms to have full-time status, and if you continue to comply with the institution's co-op rules you will be eligible to apply for the work permit as early as March (September to February = 6 months).
* At the time of application, you must still be enrolled in full-time studies and be in satisfactory academic standing.
** Note: Some institutions consider students to have “full-time” status during the “work experience” portion of their co-op program. If an institution considers a student to have “full-time” status during the “work experience” portion of the program and the student continues to comply with the institution's co-op rules, the student will be eligible for the program. Participation in the work experience portion of the program can be included in the calculation of the six months of full-time studies.
Co-op work program
Work experience is a required component of some programs of study, for example co-op and internship programs.
In these cases, an open work permit can be issued with the institution listed as the employer. In cases where several work periods are necessary throughout the program, the work permit can be issued for the same period as the study permit.
To be eligible for a work permit under a co-op or internship program, the following conditions must be met:
*you must have a valid study permit (unless you are a minor high-school student who does not require a study permit);
*your intended employment must be an essential part of your program of study in Canada;
*your employment must be certified as part of the academic program by a responsible academic official of the institution;
*your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50 percent of the total program of study; and
*you are not a medical intern or extern, nor a resident physician (except in veterinary medicine
