Work & Stay in Canada
Working and Staying in Canada as an International Student
Official IRCC and Service Canada facts on working while you study in Canada, the off-campus hour limit, co-op and post-graduation work permits, and getting a Social Insurance Number — general information to verify on the official Government of Canada source.
Many international students want to work while they study in Canada and gain Canadian experience afterwards. This hub gathers the essentials — working on-campus and off-campus, the off-campus hour limit updated in 2024, the co-op work permit for required placements, the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and the Social Insurance Number (SIN) you need to be paid. Everything here is general information drawn from official Government of Canada sources, not immigration advice; work and permit rules change, so always confirm the current rules on the official IRCC or Service Canada source before you act.
