Can I work full-time during holidays in Canada?


Yes, as an international student in Canada, you can work full-time during scheduled holidays (such as winter breaks, summer vacations, and reading weeks), provided you meet certain conditions:

Eligibility Criteria:


- You must be a full-time student at a designated learning institution (DLI).
- You must have a valid study permit with a condition allowing you to work on or off campus.
- You must have started your studies and be actively attending your program.

Work Hours During Holidays:


- During scheduled breaks (e.g., summer or winter holidays as defined by your institution), you may work full-time (more than 20 hours per week) on or off campus.
- During regular academic sessions, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week.

Important Notes:


- The break must be a scheduled break according to your institution’s academic calendar.
- If you take a break that is not part of your school’s regular schedule, you are not permitted to work full-time.
