| You may also apply for an employment authorization if:
the employment is certified by your educational institution as being an essential
and integral part of your course of study, e.g. a cooperative program. If this is the
case, you may apply for the employment authorization at the same time as the
student authorization; there is no additional fee for the employment authorization
in this case; or
- you are a graduate assistant working at an institution which is not affiliated with
the institution at which you are enrolled on a full-time basis; or
- you have completed a community college or university program and wish to work
for up to one year in employment related to your field of study; or
- you are sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency and the
employment is part of your program arranged by CIDA; or
- you have been, through no fault of your own, cut off from finances upon which
you are dependent for your day-to-day expenses.
Note: Spouses of full-time university and community college students may apply for
authorization to work anywhere, subject to medical requirements. |
