Can I work "full time" on a scheduled break if I am also taking classes during that break?

Basically the title. I am currently in Canada on a Study Permit and my classes started on May 8. I want to know if I am allowed to work full time during the summer break even if I am taking classes

Thank you

According to this, yes you can:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/campus-work.html

Conditions for work
Maximum working hours permitted
Students eligible to work under paragraph R186(v) can do the following:

  • work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions once they have commenced their program of study
  • work full time during regularly scheduled breaks between academic sessions regardless of their course load
Students may not work until they have commenced their program of study. They must actually commence studies in Canada at a DLI before being eligible to work off campus.

But just to be sure, avoid working over the limit unless you applied for your SP on or before 7th October 2022. Just my opinion.
