OWP Number of hours??

[caroline13]

Hi everyone. I have some questions is regards to the OWP. How many hours I'm allowed to work? Can I have 2 different jobs? What happens in the case that I am offered a job by an employer who is not Canadian? Can I take that job and still work from Canada? (I will be working as a translator in the near future) Can anybody be so kind and help me with this. Thank you in advance for any help on these questions.
;D

An open work permit is what it says, open. That means you can work for as many employers as you want and how many hours you want.

And, Do/Does my employer(s) have to be Canadian?? Thank you very much for your help!

If you are asking about working from home for an employer who is not in Canada, there is no problem on the Canadian side but the question is if you need authorization to work in the country of the employer. The employer can pay you into an account in that country or send you checks or something. Canada would probably expect you to report that income as worldwide income as you are living in Canada.
