Can CO OP student work while studying?

[Boyzone]

Can a Co Op student who is eligible to work during co op term, also work during course term? Meaning if a student is having lessons for 20 hours per week in the college during course term can s/he work to financially support the needs during the same period under CO OP work permit?

Also, to get admission in the college for a full time course should an international student apply through Ontariocolleges.ca online or is it required to apply directly to the college?

i dont know about co-op...

But to apply as an international student u need to apply directly to the college or through an agent...

Thanks Amit.

Could some more people confirm this as I received a link for OCAS from one of the college authority for selecting a course?

Also, please some one help in co op question's answer.

Thanks!

For the first 6 months of STUDY you are only allowed to work 20 hrs on campus. After that you can apply for a OCWP and work 20hrs OFF campus for any employer.

Co-op students can work according to what their co-op permit says. In most (if not all) cases, you can only work 20 hrs and it has to be a job that gives you course credits. At least that is how I understand it.

Thanks Itstime.

Do you also confirm that an international student should apply directly to the college instead of applying online through ontariocolleges.ca link.

Because applying through ontariocolleges.ca makes it easy to apply for different courses in one application.

Dunno. I applied directly to the college I wanted.
