Are part-time jobs allowed during my studies in Canada, and how many hours per week?
Yes, you can work part-time in Canada while studying, with some conditions.
- Off-campus: Up to 24 hours/week during academic sessions. During scheduled breaks (summer, winter, reading week), you can work unlimited hours off-campus.
- On-campus: No set limit on hours, but it's important to prioritize your studies.
You must have a valid study permit with work conditions, be enrolled full-time in an eligible program, and have started your studies. Working beyond allowed hours can risk your student status and future visas, and these rules are subject to change.
If you need help understanding your specific work eligibility, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
