Bridging Programs and Employment

Working While Studying in Canada
You may be eligible to work in Canada while studying and after you graduate. As a study permit holder, you may qualify to on-campus or off-campus without an additional work permit if you meet specific criteria.

If your academic, professional or vocational training program includes an essential co-op or internship component, you will need to apply for a work permit.

You may also apply for a post-graduation work permit to continue working in Canada after you graduate from an eligible institution.

For more details, see Work Permits for Students.
