International students with a study permit are only permitted to work while they are an active student. Once you have 'degree completed', you are not permitted to start or continue working without a valid work permit.  The only exception is when they have submitted their application for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and are waiting for a decision. Additional PGWP information can be found on the SSO Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) webpage.

The onus is on the student to provide the University with proof of a valid work permit, or PGWP application.
