The long awaited Off-Campus Work Permit Program for International Students was announced April 27, 2006 by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Monte Solberg. This means that those full-time international students who meet the eligibility criteria and receive a work permit will be able to work up to twenty (20) hours off-campus during the school year and up to forty (40) hours during winter holidays, reading week and summer break.
