You can work either work on campus or off campus. There are also options for the spouses of international to work in Canada if desired. You can sponsor yourself or be sponsored by parents, spouse and family members provided you can prove the relationship with the family member. Your employer can also sponsor you.
The Post Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) give students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution the opportunity to gain valuable Canadian work experience. The length of your work permit will depend on the length of your study period, to a maximum of three years. This may even lead to securing permanent residence provided that you are a skilled worker employed in certain sectors. You must prove that you can support yourself and your accompanying dependants while you are in Canada. Evidence can include the following:

• proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada
• proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution
• your bank statements for the past four months
• a bank draft in convertible currency
• proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees
• a letter from the person or institution providing you with money; and
• proof of funding paid from within Canada if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program.

Processing times vary. It depends on the type of application you submit, and where it is processed. CIC lists processing times for applications submitted inside and outside Canada. CIC updates this section regularly, so visit often to get the latest details. International students are expected to start planning for their studies in Canada 1 year in advance. The major intake for Canada primarily is 'Fall' i.e September. The other intake is in the month of 'Winter' i.e. January, but it depends on the students program and the institution that he/she is applying to. Very few institutes might have the May intake as well. If you are applying for an undergraduate programme it is likely you will need to take a recognised English Language test. For postgraduate studies, it is unlikely that you will be required to write English language proficiency test provided your first degree was taught in English language. The required level will vary from institution to instiution and you would need to make sure you know what the requirements are when you apply. Scholarships and awards for international students are available at some Canadian institutions. These will be limited and awarded on a competitive level, for students with exceptional results. The amount and type of award will vary. Other bodies and organisations often offer scholarships too. Again, they will look for strong grades and all round achievement. Here are some examples:

• Scholarships for International Students for Study in Canada
• Scholarships for International Students for Research in Canada
• Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships

There is an option for you to bring your dependants and family members with you to Canada when you study. You would need to show that you will be able to support them financially during their period in Canada and apply for a separate visa for each dependant. You will not normally be interviewed by the embassy when applying for your study permit. However, if the visa officer found a reason for you to be interviewed you may be called up to come to their office for interview but this is not a common occurrence. Some institution may require that you pay part of your tuition fees before the final acceptance letter is released to you, however this varies from one instutuion to another. Note that the visa officer in charge of your visa application may deem it necessary for you to make the full payment and it will be assessed on a case by case basis.
