What information must be included in the contract of employment, if I am hiring a foreign student to work on campus?
Foreign students can only work at the school where Citizenship and Immigration Canada has granted the student authorization to study.
We have developed a sample contract of employment (PDF version, 63.8 kb) to help employers who are hiring students on campus. If this sample is used, the original version of the contract of employment must be printed on letterhead. All shaded areas on the sample contract are mandatory fields, and must be completed to process a request at a Service Canada Centre.
Here is a list of the mandatory fields:
- Gender of the student
- Date of birth of the student
- Surname, Given Name of the student
- Study Permit Document Number
- Date the Study Permit was signed
- Date of expiry of the Study permit
- Name of the On-Campus Department or On-Campus Business hiring the student
- Employer's Name
- Civic address where the work will be performed
- Employer's Signature
- Employer's Telephone number
- Contract of employment, which must show the start and end date of employment and these dates must fall within the study permit dates.
- Employees' s Start and end dates of employment
- Signature of student and Date signed
Note: An employer can use a different contract of employment, as long as it contains all the mandatory information requested in the sample contract and is printed on letterhead.
