When you receive your study permit at the Canadian port of entry, immediately check to see if it authorizes you to work in Canada (e.g. 鈥渕ay accept employment鈥� or 鈥渕ay work鈥�). If this information is missing from your study permit, ask the Canadian Border Services agent to update your study permit with the necessary work authorization before you leave the Canadian Immigration area.

If your study permit does not authorize you to work on and/or off campus, and you discover this information after you leave the Canadian port of entry/Canadian Immigration, you must apply to amend your study permit (refer to Amending your Study Permit section below).  

To work, file taxes, and access government programs and benefits in Canada, you require a Social Insurance Number (SIN).

For more information on when, where, and how to apply for a Social Insurance Number, visit the Social Insurance Number page on the International Centre website.
