Hire an international student

Did you know international students may be eligible to work in Canada?

International students have a lot to offer Canadian employers. Introducing an international student to your company can help create a more culturally-diverse organization that is representative of the Canadian population. They can also bring an international perspective to problem-solving, the ability to speak multiple languages, and can fill the gap for skilled workers that might not be able to be filled by Canadian graduates alone.

Details:

  • Full-time international students can work up to 20 hours per week while they study
  • In some cases, they can work full-time during the months of May to August
  • They can also work in Canada up to three years after graduation
