Can I continue working after completing my study program as an international student?

In most cases, you cannot continue working once you have officially completed your program. Completion is confirmed by:

  • Your official letter of program completion,
  • Your final transcript, or
  • An email from your institution confirming that you have finished your studies.

You may only continue working after completing your studies if:

You are enrolling in a new study program.

You have applied for a work permit before your study permit expires.
