This includes: • Canadian citizens and permanent residents • Refugee claimants with a valid work permit • Foreign students with a valid student work permit (such as an off-campus work permit); foreign students can also work on-campus without a work permit • Anyone with a valid work permit Some government-sponsored internships might be restricted to Canadian citizens, but in general, you can apply for a job if you are legally allowed to work in Canada. Some work permits have restrictions, so if you have a work permit, make sure that you understand what you are allowed to do.
