Employment
Students may work on the campus of the publicly funded post-secondary institution at which they are enrolled on a full-time basis without an employment authorization. Students may also apply for an employment authorization if: the employment is certified by the student's educational institution as being an essential and integral part of student's course of study, e.g. a cooperative program. If this is the case, students may apply for the employment authorization at the same time as the student authorization and there is no additional fee for the employment authorization in this case. This facility of employment authorization is also available to those who have completed a university program and wish to work for up to one year in employment related to their field of study.
NOTE: Spouses of full-time university students may apply for authorization to work anywhere, subject to medical requirements. In all cases it is necessary to obtain an employment authorization (work permit) from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) before taking any employment. If students work without an employment authorization, their student authorization will cease to be valid and they may be required to leave Canada. There is ONE exception. Students may work on the campus of the publicly funded post-secondary educational institution at which they are registered. Graduate or research work completed at facilities associated with the institution, such as hospitals, meet the definition of on-campus, and an employment authorization is NOT required, provided that the student authorization bears no term or condition which prohibits such employment.
