Frequently Asked Questions

Students participating in the Off-Campus Work Program must have both a study permit and a work permit to be able to work off campus during their studies.

Students are restricted to working part-time (a maximum of 20 hours per week) during the academic term. During breaks such as reading week or in the spring/summer break, students may work full-time.

As of June 25, 2008, students applying for an off-campus work permit can no longer confirm their eligibility through paper forms. Instead, they must register online and confirm their eligibility electronically.

Students who are applying for their OCWP may also now complete, sign, pay for and submit their application for an off-campus work permit through CIC's Online Application.

For more information, students can come to the International Centre or visit the CIC website.
