Can I work full time after finishing my diploma??

[tollis90]

Hi everybody, I am an international student and in 2 weeks I'll be done my 2 year program at the college. My student Visa expires August 1st. I was wondering if I can work full time until the first of August. I know I can apply for a PGWP but I might just leave Canada. I was just wondering if I can work full time.

Thank you

No you need PGWP to work full time. You can work full time on study permit only if you are waiting for decision on work permit.

No, you can work full time once you apply for PGWP or if you have another LOA for another course and are starting within 150 days. See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/work-off-campus.html#after
