canucklax Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hey, I'm looking to work while at school this fall and then into next summer. Has anyone applied for one here and what was your experience with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Where are you from? Usually if you've got a study visa you can work a certain amount of hours per week as part of your visa. You can't hold a student visa and a work permit at the same time (from my understanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BuckFoston Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I had a student visa that allowed me to work on campus. Don't remember why, but it was a real hassle to be able to get permission to work off campus, but in my last year of an M.A. they finally granted me a "post grad visa" that did allow me to work off campus even though I was still in school. Was applying as an American citizen, if it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
