When living in Canada, an international student may be eligible to work. A student must be enrolled full-time in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and have a valid research permit. During daily training sessions and full time during scheduled breaks, research permit holders may be allowed to work for up to 20 hours a week. The day they no longer meet the eligibility requirements, an international student must stop working. The rule has a significant exemption: students enrolled in a Second Language English (ESL) or French as a Second Language (FSL) program are not allowed to work with a research permit.
