→Yes, part-time work is allowed for Diploma students in Canada, up to 24 hours weekly off-campus during classes and full-time during breaks. The Student Direct Stream has been permanently discontinued, so Diploma applications now go through the standard processing stream without a 20-day fast track.

→Yes, you can manage part-time work while studying abroad in Canada and Italy. Canada allows up to 24 hours per week off-campus during terms, while Italy caps work at 20 hours per week or 1,040 hours per year. These earnings help offset everyday living costs like groceries and transportation, though.

→Yes, beyond the UK and Ireland, Australia allows 48 hours per fortnight, Canada allows 24 hours per week, New Zealand allows 20 hours per week, Germany allows 120 full days per year, and the USA allows 20 on-campus hours per week. Most grant these rights automatically with your student visa.
