UK: It comes as standard for international students with Tier 4 Student Visas to be able to work up to 20 hours per week and full-time during the holidays. Work on the university campus or for an employer with a connection to the University is permissible, such as teaching or research assistantships.
Â
Canada: Your Canadian student visa must include a clause allowing you to work on-campus, that is, in one of the buildings or for a company affiliated with the University. You may only work while you are enrolled in classes, not before or after, and only if you meet specific requirements.
Â
Post-study Work Opportunities
Â
UK: International students who wanted to stay in the UK to look for work were subject to tight limitations beginning in 2012, including a cap on the number of visas granted and a limited period (four months).
Â
Canada: On the other side, Canada has traditionally provided graduates with a stay-back option. Graduates of institutions and programmes that qualify may apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which enables foreign nationals to continue working in the country after graduation.
