Questions on Off Campus work permit & Post Grad Work Permit

[AAFahad]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for MBA in canada for Winter 2013.
I read that it is possible to obtain the "Off campus work permit" while you are full time and finished some credits.

But, I am a bit confused about the off campus work permit and post graduation work permit issue.
Will really appreciate some response.

1. Under what situation you are granted a off campus work permit? I am wondering because prior to getting the student visa, the sponsor proved that he/she is financially capable of supporting the tuition+living throughout the program?

2. Do you only get when you have a job offer while studying? or, it is required in your program as an internship?

3. If i work off campus during my MBA for 2 years, Do i still get the 3 year Post Graduation Work Permit?

4. WIth the off campus work permit, Can I work professional jobs such as "Financial Analyst", "Accountant"?

5. Do all major get you 3 year post grad work permit? for example - business/science background etc
6. Is there a timeframe after getting the post grad work permit, within which you have to end up at a job?

Thanks. ;D

1. You can get OCWP when you are:
a. Full time student
b. Institute is in the list of applicable OCWP
c. You have studied for the past 6 months in Canada

2. You will apply for OCWP if you satisfy above set criteria and you are not required to have a job before applying for OCWP. You can apply without any job for OCWP.

3. For 2 years degree, you will start working on OCWP after the first 6 montsh + processing time. YES you will still qualify for PGWP.

4. You can work a maximum of 20 hours / week on OCWP during regular semesters and Full time during breaks.

5. Degrees/ diplomas of duration greater than equal to 2years get PGWP of 3 years. Diploma of duration less than 2 years and more than 8 months get PGWP equal to the duration of the studies.

6. No, there is not. But when your PGWP expires, you will have to leave Canada unless you got Permanent Residence.

Hope this answer your query.
