The maximum cumulative duration of regularly scheduled breaks is 180 days per calendar year (January - December). Eligible students must hold full-time enrollment during the academic session before and after the regularly scheduled break.When in doubt, reach our licensed immigration advisors at immigrationadvising@mun.ca.
