HI

if u r an international student u can apply for off campur work permit after 6 months of study ...u can then work for not more than 20 hrs per week during ur semester. so if u came in jan wait till u complete 6 months of study..this work is not considered full time and will be part time so u wont be able to apply it towards ur PR.

Please re-read the OP posts. S/he is not attending an eligible school so s/he can't get an off campus work permit nor a PGWP. So if s/he wants to work after graduation, will have to get an employer who is willing to apply and get an approved LMO.

You have two options.

1 - Graduate and find an employer willing to sponsor you for an LMO.

2 - Transfer out of your school to an eligible institution and finish your studies there. You will be eligible then to apply for a PGWP.

There are no other options for you.

Apparently, PMM does understand your dilemma and so does Josh21. I don't know why "Mead" gave you such an advise when you obviously mentioned that you are currently studying in a private institute.


What PMM and Josh21 said are true, sad to say but the only thing you can do are the options Josh21 gave.

Determine your eligibility — Work after graduation

To obtain a work permit after your graduation, you must meet the following requirements:

You must have studied full time in Canada and you must have completed a program of study that lasted at least eight months.

In addition, you must have graduated from:

a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec), or

a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, or

a private secondary or post-secondary institution (in Quebec) offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP), or

a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution.
