Wat do u mean by "taking summer off". International students can not just take semesters off. They have to maintain their full time status through out their stay. Do talk to ur institution abt it first

It's summer break. You aren't required to still go to school over the break. It's a scheduled break for a reason.

Rules about "summer break" are different for international students. In no way are international students allowed to take the summer semester off IF the university runs on three semesters per year cycle. The course load necessary for summer semester can vary among different instituions but in no way can u just take a summer break if ur on study permit. U will violate the conditions of ur permit if u do. Kindly make sure tht u provide only tht information which ur sure about or else mention tht wat ur stating is an opinion. Otherwise, someone's visa conditions or future can get messed up

In canadian education system, one academic year means two semesters. A program of four semesters means its a program of two years. The program of two years for international students automatically means a consecutive study of 16 months as they are not allowed to take any semester off. So for ur program u do quakify for three years pgwp according to current cic rules

I actually called and looked it up. So I'm not ruining someone's future. Summer is a scheduled break, which is why they allow you to work full time just as they do over winter and spring break. You can attend school if you'd like but it's not required.

How much hours is considered full-time? Cause there is no specific definition for this

It depends what school. At Memorial University, it's 9 hours and Thad where I'm attending. May have to call your school.

No university tht runs on the trisemester cycle calls summer a "scheduled break". If u hv called and asked then good for u. Enjoy ur summer :)
For anybody else wd the similar confusion please read the university's guidliness on maintaing full time status. Im posting a few of the links as example.

No, I meant how much hours of work is considered full-time? The only thing we know for sure is that part-time job hours are not more than 20 hours. So what about full-time during breaks? For example, am I allowed to work 60 or 70 etc hours?

1. Anything over 30 hours a week means a full time work.
2. You can work as many hours you want during 'scheduled' break. It's a different thing if your employer will give your more hours or less.
