This message is of interest to all international iSchool students, particularly those at the master’s level.

All UBC students, including those on a study visa, are now eligible to apply for Work Study/Work Learn positions. For graduate students, these were formerly available only to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The policy has been changed so that international students may apply. You MUST be registered in UBC courses, and have a valid Social Insurance Number, but that is fairly straightforward.

See the eligibility information at: http://www.students.ubc.ca/careers/students/work-and-volunteer-opportunities/work-study-work-learn/program-information/#Student
