Yes, as per CIC, you can work full time on your break.
Thank you for clarifying..

Heres the exact quote from CIC for future readers of this thread:

"
Scheduled breaks

Students must hold full-time status during the academic session prior to, as well as subsequent to, their scheduled break. Each scheduled break should not be more than four months consecutively and students are not eligible to work full-time if the institution allows for back-to-back scheduled breaks. Essentially, taking into account reading breaks and the winter holiday, students may only work off campus on a full-time basis for no longer than five months during each calendar year (e.g., working full-time for four months consecutively during a scheduled break plus full-time during reading breaks that generally do not exceed one week at a time).

Is this also valid after the last class? Because the cic website says that you can work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session. so, when classes are over we can work full time, right?
