On-campus work

On-campus employment is defined as employment within the boundaries of the campus or in facilities owned, operated, or affiliated with UBC. For example, your employer may be the University, a student organization, or a private contractor operating within the boundaries of the campus, such as a business in the University Village and Wesbrook Village. On-campus employment includes university-related work at facilities such as teaching hospitals, clinics, and research institutes, which may be located off campus but have a formal association or affiliation with UBC. This includes UBC’s Robson Square campus in downtown Vancouver.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not limit the number of hours students are permitted to work on campus. However, some UBC employers may restrict the hours students can work.

If you are completing your program at UBC, be sure to visit the off-campus work page for additional requirements to maintain your eligibility to work in Canada.
