There are more information:
Dear International Students,
We are very pleased to announce that eligible students will now be allowed to apply for Off-Campus Work Permits. This is an opportunity that will allow you to work off-campus on a part-time basis (20 hours) during the academic year, and on a full-time basis during holidays.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has established guidelines for the eligibility of students to participate in the program as follows:
You are ELIGIBLE if you:
- have a valid Study Permit and passport;
- are a full-time student? (have been a full-time student for at least six of the 12 months preceding your application for a permit);
- are in good academic standing ? (GPA 2.0 for Undergraduates, GPA 2.7 for Graduate Certificate/Diploma, GPA 3.0 for Masters and PhD);
- Will sign a Consent form authorizing Concordia, Immigration Qu?bec and Immigration Canada to share your academic information (in order to confirm that you are continuing to study full-time and that you are in good academic standing).
You are NOT ELIGIBLE if you:
- are a Visiting Student;
- are an Exchange Student;
- do not have a valid Study Permit;
- are a part-time student;
- are not in good academic standing;
- are receiving funding from any of the following:
Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program;
Government of Canada Awards Program;
Canadian International Development Agency;
International Trade Canada.
It is the International Students Office mandate to assist all international students with their applications to the program. In order to assist you with your application, and to allow us to best serve our 4,600 international students, you will need to attend a MANDATORY information session offered by our office, in order to apply for a Work Permit.
Application forms and the student guide can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/work-students.html
