Can i work 40 hours while being on a leave of absence from college?

[Isaacmassey]

I am a full-time international student in Canada. And will be taking a leave of absence in winter from college. So, can I or am I allowed to work full time 40 hours? If not full time then can I work part-time while I am on break?

Don't take leave of absence, as you won't get PGWP after your studies is completed, and generally have to go back home

No. It is an unscheduled break and you are not allowed to work at all. If you do, you will be working illegally.

What should I do then? What do you suggest?

I can't answer that for you. If you take a break, you can't work and you will likely end up being refused for a PGWP, so you should be focusing on solutions to allow you to continue studying.

I would be meeting with your international student coordinator. Agree that you can’t work at all if you take an approved break. How to prove that you could afford to study? This is only a 2 year 8 semester program and tuition is relatively reasonably at under 7K.
