Holding a temporary job after receiving your diploma
After you have graduated from your program of study, you could be authorized
to hold a job related to your field of study under certain conditions. However,
you must first obtain a work permit.
Requirements
To hold a job after your studies in Québec, you must:
- have successfully completed a program of full-time study of at least eight
months in a university, public college or publicly funded private college
- have an employment offer for a job that is related to the program of study
you have just completed
- not have been issued a prior work permit upon completing any other program
of study in Canada
- apply for a work permit, accompanied by proof of a valid job offer, within
90 days of receiving notice from your educational institution indicating
that you have satisfied all the requirements for obtaining the diploma
- have a valid study permit upon submission of your application for a work
permit.
Procedure
If you have met all the required conditions, you may apply for a work
permit to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), at the Case Processing
Centre, Vegreville, Alberta. At this step, fees will be charged.
A work permit could be issued to you for a maximum period of one year, or
for a maximum period of two years if you have studied and intend to
work outside the Montréal Urban Community. However, the duration of the work permit
cannot exceed that of the program of study you have just completed.
