YOURFUTURE

Off-Campus Work Permit

International students studying in full-time academic

programs are eligible to apply for an Off-Campus Work

Permit which allows students to work a maximum of 20

hours per week while attending school.

Post-Graduation Work Permit

Once students have completed their Canadian program,

they may apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit which

will permit graduates to remain in Canada and work in

their fields for a maximum of three years.

Co-operative Education and Internships

Co-operative education enables students to connect

their classroom studies to the real world by gaining work

experience related to their program area. Co-op students

function as employees of the co-operating employer

organization and are normally paid at market rates.

Students pay tuition and receive college credit for the

work term, and they are required to submit assignments

demonstrating their achievement of academic, profes-

sional, and personal learning objectives. Studies show

that co-op students enjoy higher academic achievement

and motivation and graduate with higher employment

rates and earnings.

There are a number of ways international students can

get employment experience as a part of their international

education. Find the right opportunity to suit your program

by talking to your Academic Advisor!

computer engineering systems that enable them to embrace high

technology in all its forms, as well as support industry in maintaining

current products and systems and in creating the products of the

the renewable energies area.
