I’m an international student. Can I continue to work after I’ve finished my study program?

Generally, no. You must stop working once you’ve received one of the following:

• your official letter of completion
• your transcript
• an email from your institution telling you that you have completed your program

You can only continue to work after you finished your studies if either

• you applied for a work permit before your study permit expired, or
• you’re starting a new study program
