Hi,

I am currently an international student holding a study permit for full-time study. This permit allows me to work unlimited hours on campus and up to 24 hours per week off campus. I am also going to receive a closed work permit, which will allow me to work full-time for a specific organization.

Could you please clarify if I am allowed to work full-time for the employer under the closed work permit while also working up to 24 hours per week off campus for another employer and unlimited hours on campus under my study permit as a full-time student?

Typically the closed work permit would replace the study permit. The whole purpose of a study permit is to study which is why work hours are limited to 24 hrs/week. You are asking to study full time and work potentially 64+ hrs/week. Unless this is potentially a PhD situation this would defeat the whole goal of study permits. Are you attempting to secure a PGWP?
