Hello All.... I have applied for study permit. I am a software developer by profession from India. I have applied for 1 year graduate certificate. I want to know if I can continue working while studying in Canada?
 
10 seconds google research you could have done yourself:

If you're eligible to work off-campus, you can work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session. During scheduled breaks, like the summer or winter holidays and spring break, you're allowed to work more than 20 hours. You can only start working in Canada when you start your study program

I don't think so. Your study should be your full-time commitment. You may be able to work part-time if you meet eligibility requirements.

No need to b this rude.. I have done my 10 sec google research and I did not find answer to my question. I am not asking for canadian payroll job. It is kind of freelance work and will be in indian rupees. So is it allowed or not?
 
If your work is remote with no Canadian clients and your employer has no offices in Canada, then yes you can work beyond the 20 hours.

At no point in your question you mentioned being paid in Indian money or working freelance... Don't blame me for being vague.

Only if the employer has no Canadians clients or customers and no offices in Canada. You will need to declare all your international income.
