ESL programs are typically six months or less which means no study permit is required. ESL programs are also typically not full time.

To qualify to work on campus, you must have a valid study permit - which means you must be in a full time program that is longer than six months.

So someone taking ESL will most likely not qualify to work on campus.

Eligibility for employment on campus
To be eligible for employment on campus, the student must:

be registered full-time at a public universit
y, community college, CEGEP, publicly funded
trade/technical school or private institution authori
zed by provincial statute to confer degrees;

be in possession of a valid and subsisting study permit; and

work on campus at the institution where they ar
e registered, whether for
the institution itself
or for a private business located on campus.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-oncampus.asp

They say nothing about should it be an academic program. But they say a student have to be a FULL time student.

Only on campus means. How many hours I do work??
You can work as many as you want to. However it's typically quite difficult to get on campus jobs (there aren't very many). So you should assume you won't be able to work at all if you come here for ESL studies.

Surely that is a question for the institute that you plan to attend, and will depend when your permit is approved nobody here can answer.
