Work during study
Generally, foreign students are not allowed to work while studying in Canada.
However, there are some exceptions for full-time students at publicly funded or degree granting institutions who may apply for work permits. A full-time student is a person whose program of study is normally of at least 15 hours of instruction per week, leading to a diploma or certificate, unless otherwise defined by an educational institution. (The definition of a full-time student varies from one educational institution to another). A work permit is issued if it is established that:

(a) The intended employment is an essential and integral part of the course of study. (This does not apply to medical interns or medical residents) OR the intended employment is related to an approved research or training program OR the student holds a study permit and have become temporarily destitute through circumstances beyond his/her control or beyond the control of any person whom he/ she is dependent on for financial support to complete the term of study. The student must produce proof to the extent that he/ she is not able to obtain money needed for daily expenses and that it is a temporary situation.
(b) The student have successfully graduated from a program at a Canadian university, community, college, CEGEP, or publicity funded trade/technical school (or from private institution authorized by provincial statue to confer degrees) and wish to work for a maximum of one year or two years in employment related to his/her course of study. The maximum length will depend on the length and location of his/her studies, and location of his/her employment. Student must submit application for a work permit within 90 days of the issuance of final mark sheet. The study permit must be valid while submitting the application for a work permit.

(c) Spouses and common-law partners of full-time students at publicly funded or degree/ diploma granting institutions can apply for an open work permit.
Some study permits are arranged with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). These students must obtain an approval letter from CIDA to be eligible for a work permit related to their course of study.
A full-time student attending a degree-granting post-secondary institution does not need a work permit when the employment offered is on the campus of the college or university where the student is registered full-time, for as long as the study permit is valid. The employer may be a private contractor operating on the campus.
