Work Permit Options for International Students in Canada

International students who have a valid Canada study permit, and are enrolled in a Canadian educational institution, have many different options when it comes to working in Canada. Not all jobs will require students to get a work permit. Most off-campus jobs do require a work permit, though some are subject to certain work permit/LMIA exemptions.

Not only it is easier for students with a valid Canada study permit to obtain authorization to work in Canada, they may also become eligible for various Canadian Permanent residency programs.

Multiple work permits options are available for international student in Canada, Here is the list:
1. On-Campus Work Permit Exemption: Full-time international students with a valid Canada study permit seeking to work on campus do not require a Canadian work permit.
2. Off-Campus Work Permits: Foreign students studying full time on a valid Canada study permit may be authorized to work off-campus if their school participates in an off-campus work permit program through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
3. Co-op Programs & Internship Work Permits: Foreign students who are studying in a program that requires work experience such as through a co-op or internship program.
4. Post-Graduate Work Permits: International students who are graduated from an academic program in Canada with minimum duration of eight months, they may qualify for a Post-Graduate Work Permit. Generally, the Canada work permit will be valid for the same duration as your Canada study permit was.
5. Work Permits for the Spouse of a Foreign Student: A spouse accompanying an international student on a valid Canada study permit is also entitled to a Canadian study permit or an open work permit, which does not require a job offer or Labour  Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) .
Canada seeks to facilitate the integration of international students into Canadian society. For this reason there are many options for students seeking to work in Canada.
