s.19(1) EM eeccc mires Semen case Please be advised that the regulations have been updated to reflect the 24 hours offcampus work authorization during academic sessions for eligible students. fa student's current study permit has a condition stating that they may only work 20 hours per week off campus, for example: “May work 20 hours per week off campus or full-time during regular breaks if meeting criteria outlined in paragraph 186(v) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.” They are allowed to work up to 24 hours per week as long as they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. In order for a student to work off campus they must have a condition printed on their study permit stating that they may work. Students who wish to work off campus and do not have the proper conditions on their study permit should apply for a change of conditions to have this reflected on the permit before starting work on or off campus, even in cases where they are already holding a valid SIN. ‘Thank you kindly, ‘The Immigration Representatives Mailbox De: Envoye: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Objet: [requester] Hi, | just wanted to raise to your attention as | am not sure whom to contact, that students who are being issued study permits in December 2024 and January 2025 are getting a below comment under remarks: lam not sure if it is a typo as IRPR 186 (v) (iii) has been updated in November 2024: © * (iii) although they are permitted to engage in fulltime work during a regularly scheduled break between academic sessions, they work no more than 24 hours per week during a regular academic session. In that situation as it is a mistake on IRCC side, will students be able to amend it? Students are being told by IRGC phone line that they are eligible to work 24 hours regardless of the remark if eligible. Ihave also a follow up question: In the past students to apply for PGWP have to have listed 186 (w) under conditions? if a student does not have it listed under conditions, can they apply for PGWP? 002357
