Comprehensive reference for international students at UBC.
On-campus work
Eligibility
You can work on campus if:
- Your study permit is valid for at least six months
- You are a full-time international student registered in credit courses
What kind of on-campus work is available?
On-campus work includes work in facilities within the boundary of the UBC-V campus. If you work on campus, your employer could be the University, a student organization, or a private contractor operating within the boundaries of the campus (such as businesses in University Village). You can also find on-campus jobs at teaching hospitals, clinics, and research institutes that may be located off campus but have a formal association or affiliation with UBC. This includes UBC’s Robson Square campus in downtown Vancouver but does not include the UBC-O campus.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) does not limit the number of hours students are permitted to work on campus. Be careful not to let your work interfere with your studies.
One of the best resources for looking for jobs at UBC is Careers Online.
Some UBC employers or programs, such as Work Learn, may restrict student work hours to 10 or 12 hours per week.
