Can I work 24 hours per week during studies and get a post-study work permit for one to three years depending on the course duration in Canada?
Yes, you can work up to 24 hours per week during regular academic sessions in Canada, and full-time during scheduled breaks like summer or winter holidays.
For the post-study work permit (PGWP):
- 8 months to less than 2 years: PGWP valid for the length of your study program.
- 2 years or more: PGWP valid for 3 years.
The PGWP is a one-time opportunity and you must apply within 180 days of completing your program. These rules are subject to change.
If you need guidance on your specific situation, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
