UBC students who have completed their program requirements and whose program completion letter is not yet available are considered “full time for immigration purposes” by UBC.
If your letter of completion is available, you must have applied for a post-graduation work permit or have some other form of authorization to work in Canada. If you have questions about your work eligibility, please speak with an International Student Advisor.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have the necessary work authorization documents to work after completing your studies.
Undergraduate international students who are planning to work full-time during the summer must be on a scheduled break to meet the full-time definition for immigration purposes. This includes Work Learn International Undergraduate Research Award recipients.
