* Most international students are eligible to work while studying. However, there are different work eligibility requirements for working on campus and off campus. Therefore, it is important to review the complete eligibility criteria for working while studying. 

** The programs listed above are full-time on-campus programs that must be taken according to the program schedule to qualify as a PGWP-eligible program. Not all programs at RRU meet the eligibility criteria for PGWP (e.g., Blended and online programs). In addition to completing a PGWP-eligible program, other factors may impact eligibility. Therefore, reviewing the complete eligibility criteria for the PGWP before you begin your program to maintain your eligibility throughout your studies is important. IRCC has final discretion.
