Hiring a Study or Work Permit Holder

Foreign students who hold a valid study permit must be registered and actively engaged in full-time studies at the University of Alberta to work on campus. Before hiring a study or work permit holder, faculties/departments must contact Immigration Services.

Study permit holders registered and actively engaged in full-time studies at a Designated Learning Institution other than the University of Alberta, are only permitted to work at the University of Alberta part-time to a maximum of 20 hours per week. During regularly scheduled breaks they can work full-time off campus.

Contact Immigration Services before making any changes to the terms and conditions, including pay, of a foreign national.
