Understanding your legal rights, permit rules, and staying compliant while studying in Canada.
Ensure you remain enrolled in your program and maintain full-time student status to keep your permit valid. Always keep track of your permit's expiry date and apply for a renewal at least 90 days before it expires.
Check IRCC StatusInternational students in Canada can legally work up to 24 hours per week off-campus during regular academic semesters. You can work unlimited full-time hours during official scheduled school breaks (like summer or winter holidays). Make sure to track your hours weekly from Monday to Sunday, as exceeding 24 hours in a single week is a violation of your study permit.
