Studying in Canada FAQ

Q: Where will I live as a student?
A: There are multiple housing options for international students in Canada

• Most colleges and universities have student residences or dormitories. Bathrooms are often shared, and meals are served in cafeterias. Some schools have student apartments and shared student houses as on-campus housing options.
• Some schools have programs where students live with volunteer ‘sponsor’ or ‘billet’ families who provide you with your meals, and a bedroom in their home. Inquire with your school to see if this is an option.
• You can rent an apartment off-campus. You can rent your own apartment or share one with other students. Most colleges and universities have student classified ads where you can find apartment listings, and other students to live with which helps to keep costs lower.

Q: How will I meet people?
A: International Student Associations are available on most campuses. These student groups will provide you with helpful information about life in Canada, and often hold activities where you can make friends with other students.
Multiple other student groups and associations exist on every campus. It is important to get yourself involved in them if you truly want to meet people and get the most out of your student experience. Enjoy a sport? Try out for the school team! Are you a fan of classic literature? Join the reading group! Ask a representative from the students association for information on the student groups available to you.

Q: What if I need to improve my French/English?
A: Most universities and colleges have language courses, often free to international students. You could also try a language exchange with another student. For example, if you speak fluent Mandarin, but need to improve your English, perhaps an English-speaking student will be studying Mandarin and need your help!

Q: How will I pay to study in Canada?
A: You may need to obtain a student line of credit from a bank, or a student loan from the government. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible for a Canadian or Quebec student loan to help you pay for your education.
Many students work part-time while studying, both to obtain work experience and to make ends meet. Find out about work permits and work opportunities for foreign students.

Government Programs and Private Sector Jobs for Students
Government Programs and Private Sector Jobs for Students



Besides your pocketbook, there are many benefits to finding a summer job. You will master important skills such as time management, confidence, and working under pressure. A summer job gives students a competitive edge. This is a way to figure out whether a particular field or sector is right for them.

Choosing Location
Your university town is not the best place to look for employment opportunities simply because there is a lot of competition. It is best to apply nationwide rather than stay on campus. Apply with companies and non-for-profit organizations.

Canada Summer Jobs
Canada Summer Jobs helps students to find employment and offers funding to companies and non-governmental organizations. The focus is on local communities and priorities. While small businesses are eligible, provincial and government agencies and departments as well as members of the Senate and the House of Commons are not. There are also requirements for students. They should be permanent residents or citizens who are registered full-time. Persons with a refugee status are also eligible to apply. Students between 15 and 30 years can apply under the program. The CSJ also offers wage subsidies to private sector and public employers. The program reimburses 50 percent of the minimum wage. Additional funding is offered to companies that employ students with disabilities.

Government Programs
The government also offers employment opportunities under different programs such as the Federal Student Work Experience Program, the Post-secondary Co-op/Internship Program, and the Research Affiliate Program. The FSWEP, for example, is designed for full-time students and offers jobs in the information technology sector as well as clerical and office jobs and other employment opportunities. Previous experience is not required. The Treasury Board of Canada determines the rate of pay depending on factors such as years of study and educational level. The program offers temporary jobs.

The National Research Council also runs its own student employment program. Young persons are asked to submit a copy of their recent high school or college transcripts, along with their resume. They should fill in personal information such as their email, home phone, languages of correspondence, and citizenship status. Students are also asked to describe their work-related experience, skills, awards and scholarships, as well as preferred location.

Employment Opportunities for International Students
There are part-time jobs available to international students in Canada. They can choose between off-campus and campus employment provided that they are registered as full-time students. Those who wish to work off-campus must obtain a permit. Full-time employment is available during spring breaks and summer and winter holidays. International Experience Canada is another program for citizens of Germany, France, Chile, Costa Rica, Australia, and other countries. While international students are allowed to work in Canada, there are also opportunities for Canadians who wish to travel abroad.

Private Sector Opportunities
Different companies and non-for-profits offer full-time and part-time employment to young individuals. They can choose from different jobs such as accounts receivable clerk, sales representative, food counter attendant, electronics sales person, information operator, and many others. Other opportunities available include taxicab driver and kitchen helper. You can choose from contract work, internships, and various employment opportunities. Another option is to start your own business. In fact, some students do this through Summer Company which is a program of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment in Ontario. Those who are 15 to 29 years old are eligible to apply. Funding is also offered under the Youth Entrepreneurship Partnerships, and the goal is to offer entrepreneurial and educational opportunities. Non-for-profits receive funding of up to $75,000. Participants include Aboriginal organizations, municipalities, post-secondary institutions, and others.

Issues to Consider
According to a report by CIBC World Markets, more and more adults are forced to accept jobs that have been previously reserved for young people. Unemployment is the main reason for this. Some people lack computer skills and other competencies and are unable to find well-paid employment. The food and retail industries are two sectors traditionally reserved for youth.

One of Canada’s most revered academic institutions, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto offers undergraduate medical education (for an M.D. degree) as well as post-M.D., Master's, Ph.D., and post-PhD fellowship programs.

Other information:
How do I find out if I can work while studying in Canada?
Foreign students can work in Canada during their studies, and after they graduate. In most cases, you will need to apply for one of the student-related work permits, which are required if you want to work in a co-op/internship placement, off campus, or after graduating from your studies (Post-Graduation Work Permit Program).

Can I still work in Canada even if I don’t apply under a student-related work permit program?
If you are not eligible or do not want to work under a student-related work permit program (such as the Off-Campus Work Permit Program, On-Campus Work Program, Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, or Internship/Co-op Program), you can apply for a work permit to work in Canada during or after your studies under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

If I receive an off-campus work permit, for how long is it valid?
Your work permit will generally be valid for the same period as your study permit. It will allow you to work off campus until you complete your studies, as long as you still comply with the program requirements and with the conditions of both your work permit and study permit.

Is there a fee to apply for an off-campus work permit?
Yes, the fee is C$150.

Once I apply for an off-campus work permit, how long will it take to process my application?
Individual circumstances may affect the processing time. They include:
– whether you are eligible for the program and
– whether your application is complete.

If I am eligible and the institution where I study is participating in the program, can I apply for a job off campus right away, or do I have to wait until I receive my off-campus work permit?
You can apply for a job right away, but you cannot legally work off campus in Canada until you receive an off-campus work permit. If you begin to work off campus before you receive an off-campus work permit, you could become ineligible to participate in the Off-Campus Work Permit Program. It is illegal for you to work in Canada without a valid work permit.

Are there any restrictions on where I can work or the type of job that I can apply for under the Off-Campus Work Permit Program?
You will be able to work anywhere in Canada as long as you remain a full-time student with a satisfactory academic standing while classes are in session and you comply with the conditions of your work permit.
In some cases, there may be restrictions on the type of job you can hold. For example, you may be required to undergo a medical examination for some occupations, such as:
– workers in the health services fields
– teachers of primary or secondary schools or other teachers of small children
– domestic workers or live-in caregivers
– workers who give in-home care to children, the elderly or individuals with a disability
– day nursery employees and
– some agricultural workers.

Are there any restrictions on how many hours I can work once I receive my off-campus work permit?
Once you receive your off-campus work permit, you can work up to 20 hours per week off campus while classes are in session. You can work full time during scheduled breaks, including summer or winter holidays and reading weeks.
While classes are in session, you must be studying full time and retain satisfactory academic standing to keep your off-campus work permit.

I am considering studying in Canada. Can I apply for an off-campus work permit at the same time as I apply for my study permit?
No, you cannot apply for a study permit and an off-campus work permit at the same time. To qualify for the program, you must already hold a valid study permit, and you must have been a full-time student at a participating institution for at least six of the last 12 months before you apply.

What must I do to extend my stay or change my status (for example, from a full-time student to a full-time worker)?
To make any changes in your immigration status or to extend your stay in Canada, you must submit an application to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada.

Why is the Off-Campus Work Permit Program not available to foreign students when they start their studies?
The likelihood of students quitting their study program is highest during the first few months of study. Citizenship and Immigration Canada wants to ensure that work permits are issued to legitimate students. When they apply, these students will be required to prove they have been studying full time for six of the last 12 months at a participating institution.

Can I work in Canada?
It is possible to work in Canada while you are here as a student, and there are opportunities for jobs on and off campus.

Working On-Campus
You may work on campus at the institution where you study without a work permit if:
– you are a full-time student at:
a) a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university, or a collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec
b) a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
c) a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees and
- you have a valid study permit.

The Off-Campus Work Permit Program
The Off-Campus Work Permit Program allows certain foreign students to work off campus while completing their studies. To qualify, you must be a full-time student enrolled at a participating publicly funded post-secondary educational institution or in an approved program at an eligible privately funded institution.

Participating publicly funded post-secondary educational institutions:
– are public post-secondary institutions, such as a college or university or a collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec or
– are private post-secondary institutions that operate under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, and receive at least 50 percent of their financing for their overall operations from government grants (currently only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
– have signed an off-campus work agreement with their provincial or territorial government.

Eligible privately funded post-secondary institutions:
– are located in a province or territory that has signed a memorandum of understanding with CIC
– have signed an off-campus work agreement with their provincial or territorial government and
– have approval from their provincial or territorial government to grant specific degrees.
Please note that not all programs offered by private post-secondary educational institutions qualify. For more information on qualifying programs, contact the eligible institution directly.

To work off campus, you must apply for a work permit. Do not begin to work off campus until you have received your work permit. The work permit authorizes you to work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions, and full time during scheduled breaks (for example, winter and summer holidays, and spring break).
A work permit does not guarantee that you will find a job. It is your responsibility to look for work. Even if you work off campus, your studies must be the main reason you are in Canada. If you are no longer a full-time student or do not maintain satisfactory academic results, you must return your work permit to a local Citizenship and Immigration Canada office.
For more information about the program and the application process, contact the international student adviser at your educational institution.

Co-Op and Internship Programs
For some academic programs, work experience is part of the curriculum. Foreign students who wish to participate in a co-op or internship program must apply for a work permit as well as a study permit.
Who can apply
To be eligible for a work permit, you must meet the following conditions:
– You must have a valid study permit.
– Your intended employment must be an essential part of your program of study in Canada.
– Your employment must be part of your academic program, certified by a letter from a responsible academic official of the institution.
– Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50 percent of the total program of study.

How to apply
There are four steps to apply for a work permit:
1. Obtain an application kit.
The application you need is called IMM 5580 (Applying for a Work Permit Student Guide).
2. Read the guide.
Read the guide carefully before you complete the application form. Photocopy the blank forms and use one as a working copy. Keep the working copy for your records.
3. Complete the application form and attach the necessary documents.
The application form contains instructions. Read those instructions and be sure to provide the required documents. If information or documents are missing, your application may be delayed. The Document Checklist in the application kit will tell you what documents to include.
Answer all questions carefully, completely and truthfully. Answers can be typed or handwritten (print clearly in black ink). Incomplete applications will not be processed, but will be returned to you. This will delay the application process. There is no processing fee for this work permit.
4. Mail the application form and documents.
The application kit contains the mailing address where you must send your application.

Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience.
A work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program cannot be valid for a longer period than the length of your studies. For example, if you graduate from a four-year degree program, you could be eligible for a three-year work permit if you meet the criteria. If you graduate from an eight-month certificate program, you would be eligible for a work permit that is valid for no more than eight months.

Work Available to Your Spouse or Common-Law Partner
Eligibility
Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for a work permit if:
– you are a full-time student at:
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university or collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently, only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees
– you have a valid study permit or
– you have a valid work permit.
Validity
Work permits for your spouse or common-law partner are valid for the same period of time as your study or work permit.
Note: Accompanying spouses or common-law partners of foreign students (including spouses or common-law partners of foreign students with post-graduation work permits) are eligible for an open work permit, which means they do not need a job offer or a labour market opinion from Service Canada.
