My mom just got her work permit and I'm a high school student.
But my study permit issued I'm not eligible to work off-campus.
So I'm wondering if my mom can make her dependents to work as well because of her work permit.
Your answers are very important for me, thanks a million!

You won't be able to work. The fact you are dependent on your mother doesn't change this. The only person who qualifies for an open work permit is your father.

Thanks, is there a way that I can work?
Technically yes - but it's pretty much certain you won't be successful.

First, you'll need to find an employer who is willing to offer you a job in Canada.
Next, that employer will need to advertise the job for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role.
Once that's done, the employer will need to pay a $1000 fee and submit something called an LMIA application to request approval to hire you.
Next, the employer will need to wait 2-4 months for the LMIA application to be processed.
If the LMIA application is approved, then you can apply for a work permit. Note that not all LMIAs are approved.

To be brutally honest, you're not going to find an employer willing to go through the LMIA process for a part time high school student job. First of all, the process is extremely long and expensive for the employer. Secondly, the employer is going to have a very hard time proving they couldn't hire a Canadian for the job given your age, lack of experience and level of education. So even if some employer decides to go ahead with the LMIA, I think refusal is pretty much guaranteed.

You should assume you will not be able to work while you are in Canada as a high school student.

Thank you very much, scylla!
I really appreciated your help!
That's too bad though, I've already found a part time job and got accepted. And I don't know what to do next because it's hard to give up this precious job opportunity.

And is there a very serious problem if I give my mom's sin to my employer?
It sounds stupid but I really don't know what sin is used for, maybe paying taxes?

Of course it's serious. Extremely serious. It's illegal and a crime - as well as a violation of both your visa and your mother's visa. It's a great way to end up being ordered to leave Canada and then banned from Canada. You are pretty much guaranteed to be caught since your mother's work permit sounds like it's employer specific. Don't do it.

Again, you need to forget about working. It's not going to be possible.
