Can I work in the holiday before I resume classes as an international student? (Letter of Absence)

[An0tika]

Hello,

I did not enroll in fall classes this year because I owed school fees from the other academic year. I am enrolled in classes for the Winter semester and have a letter of absence. Is it possible that I can work during this Christmas break since the fall semester will be done by then?

No. You are on an approved leave of absence until beginning of Winter semester, so you can start work then

Just to clarify, I can't even work a few days before my classes start?

You cannot work until classes begin. So NO.

Assume you also have proof that you didn’t work after you stopped studying full-time. Fairly unusual for an international student to be able to fund cost of living during study break, get the funds to clear unpaid tuition and be able to pay for upcoming semester.
