This situation is beyond your control, and your status as a study permit holder should not be affected. As a result of the strike, you will
not face any penalty or enforcement action because you can’t pursue your studies during this time
be able to work off campus for up to 20 hours per week if your study permit allows you to work (and also work full-time during regular breaks such as winter holidays and reading week)
still be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
You must continue to have valid status as a student in Canada to be able to return to class after the labour dispute is resolved. If you need to apply to extend your study permit during the strike, include a letter from the registrar of your designated learning institution that confirms that the strike has stopped you from attending school and pursuing your studies.
