No - you're not eligible to work before the start of your program. Doing so is illegal. You must wait until your program starts to begin working. Once your classes start, you'll be able to work up to 20 hours per week off campus.

Hello, you probably have co-op term in your program so that’s you got sw-1 category visa instead of s-1 .

Is there any not to work condition in SW-1 category visa? If not can I work anywhere ? Or just related to my study program.
The category on your visa means NOTHING in terms of what you can do in Canada. You can work as per the terms of your study permit, no different than any other student.
