Revised 02-92

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.
