Employment and Immigration Canada - Selection and Control:

3) Exemption Codes

The validation exemption codes E06, E07 and E08 are used for certain student
employment situations.  The authorizations may only be used in Canada to
students enrolled in full-time studies or to their spouses.  Possible employment
pursuant to these exemption codes will not be taken into consideration when
assessing a student applicant's financial position.  Persons eligible under
these codes will be required to pay IMM 1102 processing fees, unless they come
within the exempted catatgories in IS Chapter 27.  A form letter has been
developed to indicate to employers that the applicant is eligible to seek
employment (IS 15 appendix H).

   a) Code E06

      Persons who are full-time, post secondary students and wish to engage in
      employment on the campus of the post-secondary they are attending.  The
      employer can be the post-secondary institution, faculty, student
      organization, or private contractor providing services to the institution
      (e.g., catering company) operating on the campus.

   b) Code E07

      Spouses of foreign students may accept employment in the general labour
      market, provided they are able to provide evidence that:

      i) they meet the definition of spouse in Regulation 2; and

     ii) they are the spouse of a holder of a student authorization issued in
         accordance with the Regulation 17 and the student is attending a post-
         secondary institution on a full time basis, or the student is employed
         pursuant to E08.  Extensions beyond the validity of either the student
         authorization or the E08 employment authorization are not possible.

      Spousal employment in this context is intended for spouses who are not
      full-time students themselves.

   c) Code E08

      Students may accept education-related employment for up to a maximum of
      one year following the successful completion of their studies.  This
      policy is intended to enable students to acquire experience outside the
      classroom and to help broaden the student's knowledge and appreciation of
      Canada's industrial and technological capacity.

      To qualify for employment under this code students must meet the
      following criteria:

     i) they must provide evidence of successful completion of a program at a
        post-secondary institution, showing the course fully completed;

    ii) employment must commence within sixty (60) days of release of final
        marks by the institution where the student is registered, indicating
        that the requirements for a degree or diploma have been met.  The
        employment must be consistent with the student's area of study and of
        a type for which Canadian graduates in the same course of study would
        normally be recruited (e.g. the employment accepted must require the
        level of training the foreign student has achieved).  Extensions
        beyond one (1) year require an EMP 5056, unless the employment falls
        within another validation exemption category;

   iii) the foreign students must apply for the IMM 1102 while their IMM 1208
        is still valid.  Therefore, CICs should ensure that students who intend
        to apply for postgraduation employment are issued IMM 1208s which
        extend 60 days beyond completion of their course of studies; and

    iv) the employment may involve one or more employers, but may not exceed a
        total of one year.  Students are entitled to benefit from this option
        only once.

        Students should be strongly counselled regarding the non extendable
        1 year limitation of this validation code.  It is expected that students
        will advise any prospective employer of this time limitation.  A letter,
        similar to that which appears in Appendix J, should be sent to the
        employer so that he is fully aware of the implications of hiring foreign
        students under this exemption.  A note should also be placed in the
        Remarks box of the employment authorization which states "Employment
        authorized for a maximum period of one year.  No extensions shall be
        granted under this validation exemption code."

        CIDA sponsored students are also eligible to apply for employment for
        one year following completion of studies.  However, in addition to
        complying with the above criteria, CIDA students must also obtain an
        approval letter from that agency in order to be authorized to accept
        post graduation employment in Canada.  This requirement is based on
        the fact that the majority of these students are in Canada under
        employment projects which are governed by agreements between Canada
        and recipient countries (or international agencies) stipulating that
        they must return to their home country immediately after completion
        of their education or training programs.
