Foire aux questions

Can I work part-⁠time while I stu⁠d⁠y⁠?
Having a study permit does not mean everyone can work off campus. IRCC's conditions include: studying full-⁠time, being enrolled in a post-⁠secondary academic, vocational or professional programme that lasts at least 6 months and leads to a degree, diploma or certificate, having work conditions printed on your study permit, and having a social insurance number (SIN). During regular academic sessions you can work up to 24 hours a week. If you only plan to attend a language course, ask the school before enrolling whether you meet these conditio⁠n⁠s⁠.
What is a co-⁠op, and do I need a work perm⁠i⁠t⁠?
A co-⁠op is work experience that is part of your programme. According to IRCC, from 1 April 2026 full-⁠time post-⁠secondary students no longer need a separate co-⁠op work permit for placements required by their programme. The school must confirm in a letter that the placement is required, and the placement can be no more than 50⁠% of the programme. English or French as a second language courses, general interest courses and preparatory courses for another programme are not eligib⁠l⁠e⁠.
Can I use the working holiday program⁠m⁠e⁠?
It depends on your nationality, so check the official eligibility page for your country. For Japanese citizens the age range is 18 to 30 (inclusive), up to 12 months per participation, and up to two participations. You apply through International Experience Canada (IEC): create a profile in the pool, and apply for the work permit once you receive an invitation. IRCC publishes the number of invitations and available spots on its rounds of invitations pa⁠g⁠e⁠.
