Working off-campus (Study permit)

[Anna27]

Hi everyone,

According to CIC, we can work full time during scheduled break. I am a Masters students and I do not have any exams this semester. I will finish my semester on December 3, 2015 and the next semester starts on January 5, 2016.
Can I work full time between December 3 and January 5 OR does it have to be the break for all students (December 25 to January 5).

Best,
Anna

I don't know, but do let us know when you find out the answer, since I'm in a similar situation. You could call the CIC helpline and ask (1-888-242-2100).

I did talk to CIC and my University today.

According to CIC follow your University closing dates and according to University it is only between December 22 - January 3 that we are legally entitled to work full time from December 22 - January 3
