As of mid-2026, eligible full-time students can generally work up to 24 hours per week off campus while classes are in session, and full-time during scheduled breaks like summer holidays. On-campus work usually has no hour cap. You must meet the conditions on your study permit — for example, being enrolled full-time at an eligible school. Working more than allowed is a serious violation of your permit conditions, so always confirm the current limit on canada.ca.
