NAFTA Visa Holder; Daughter Wants a P/T Job

[Yakisoba_S]

Hi all,

Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered before, but I've looked through the posts and couldn't find anything relevant. So . . . . I'm in the EE pool and in the meantime am working on a NAFTA visa which I plan to renew in January. My Grade 11 daughter would like to get a part-time job, but I don't know if she's allowed to or if she would need permission (technically speaking, she's not on a student visa--just an accompanying visa). Assuming she does need permission, how difficult would that be to get?

Before I spend a couple of hours on the phone with CIC tomorrow, does anyone here happen to know? Big thanks in advance for any information.

Unfortunately there is no way she can work legally.

Only foreign students at the college / university level are permitted to work.

She's out of luck.

Thanks, Scylla. That's not the answer I was hoping to hear, and I know she'll be bummed, but good to know. By this time next year, fingers crossed it'll be a moot point.

Again, appreciate the feedback. Cheers.
