International Work Study Program (ISWP):

• The International Work-Study Program (IWSP) was created specifically for international students who hold a valid study permit allowing them to work in Canada and a valid SIN.
• IWSP positions will be posted on the Human Resources Student Employment website inviting eligible international students to apply.
• When hiring ISWP positions, the student must apply and be approved for ISWP funding through the Finance Office (September through April).
• IWSP positions may not exceed 20 hours per week (Immigration and Citizenship Canada) and a student cannot hold more than two ISWP positions at the same time. Students are permitted to hold an ISWP position and a Non-ISWP position at the same time as long as the combined hours of work for all positions is no more than 20 per week.
• International students must provide Human Resources with a copy of their study permit prior to beginning work and they must have a valid SIN.
