Working while studying for a foreign employer

[OFGK]

Hello,

1) is it permitted to work remotely from Canada for a foreign employer while studying?
2) does the rule of 20hrs/week apply here?
3) would I have to pay my income tax in Canada, too?

I can’t find anything via Canadian gov website. If you have links or smth, I’d appreciate if you shared them with me.

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes
2. If your employer has no Canadian presence and no Canadian clients then you can work more than 20 hours
3. yes

Let me just understand it properly. Does it mean I would have to pay taxes two times? Either in my home country and in Canada? Or there's just some type of a tax equalization in Canada?

I don't know how taxes work in your country but you must claim it in Canada. Seek the advice of an accountant.
