Student Visa vs Work
Can I work if I have a Student Visa?
I have been getting many emails about students, coming to study in Canada every year. In fact, over 130,000 people come to Canada every year to study.
The rule is that you must come to Canada with enough money to live and pay your bills while you are studying, without needing to work.
Each Province has its own regulations so verify with the Province where you are planning on going to (your school advisor should also be able to give you information).
If you are on a program of English as a second language you are NOT allowed to work in Canada.
Do NOT work without being authorized to do so. If you do, you may be asked to leave Canada.
Following is information on the situations when you may be able to work while you are studying, from the CIC web site. Working will help you earn extra money and gain Canadian work experience.
