My name and [ am one of the international student advisor :
My question is: Can a student who has received a completion letter from their 1** program, and has also received an acceptance
letter to their 2"¢ program work full-time offcampus for the first 150 days, if their 24 program starts longer than 150 days
from the completion of their first program? In this question, we are assuming the student meets all other requirements to work off
campus, and it is only the 150 day gap that is in question.
© From this link it states: “....... Jf the new program of study starts more than 150 calendar days after the first date
they receive written confirmation of program completion from their current institution, the student is eligible to
work off campus only during the first 150 consecutive days after the first date they receive written
confirmation of program completion. They should then either apply to change their status (for instance, change it
into visitor status) or leave Canada until their new program commences”
© On the other hand, from this link it states that: if you 're starting a new program, you can work full-time if you will
start your new program within 150 calendar days of receiving the confirmation that you completed your
previous program.
Please let me know which of these two links is accurate,
Kind Regards
