Can international students accept jobs?
Yes! Every year thousands of international students come to the London region to study at The University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College and other institutions
Here are some things you should know about international students:
- Many students who come here from other countries hope to gain permanent residency and stay in Canada.
- Even though a student may not have permanent resident status, most are entitled to work off campus through the Off-Campus Work Permit Program, introduced in 2006.
International students make excellent employees because they:
- Have a strong work ethic;
- Add cultural and ethnic diversity;
- Bring a global perspective;
- Are usually multilingual;
- Are eager for Canadian work experience
