Can I work 24 hours as an international student in Canada? 

Updated on Nov 24, 2025

No, as an international student in Canada, you are generally not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week during the academic session. However, you may be able to work full-time during scheduled breaks, such as winter and summer holidays, as long as you meet certain eligibility requirements. 

It's important to check with your school's international student office and the Canadian government's immigration website to ensure that you are following the proper guidelines and regulations for working as an international student in Canada.
