Yes, you can work part-time during your studies in Canada and full-time after completing your program, if you meet the required conditions.
- Part-time during studies: You may work up to 24 hours per week off-campus during regular sessions, and full-time during scheduled breaks, as long as your study permit allows off-campus work.
- Full-time after graduation: After finishing your program, you can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which lets you work full-time in Canada for up to three years, depending on your program length.
These policies are subject to change. Make sure your study permit includes the necessary work conditions.
