Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regulations require all international students (study permit holders) to actively pursue studies while in Canada when enrolled at SFU. The immigration regulations also allow full-time international students enrolled at SFU in certain eligible programs to work on campus, part time off campus and full time during scheduled school breaks without a work permit.

It is the student's responsibility to maintain valid status in Canada and to continue to meet all conditions of the study permit. Visit IRCC's website for more information.

As a designated learning institution, Simon Fraser University is required to report on the enrollment status of international students twice a year. For enrollment definitions for immigration purposes, visit https://www.sfu.ca/students/isap/explore/enrolment.html. These definitions will determine how an international student's status will be represented in the reports.

Regularly Scheduled Break

Based on Regulation 186(v)(iii) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, eligible students can work full-time during a regularly scheduled break.
