Do you wish to study in Canada? Do the expenses make
you wonder about your decision? Do high tuition fees, cost of living or
other day-to-day activities make you feel burdened in monetary terms?
We understand that you will have to loosen your purse strings a little
to study in Canada. However, giving up on your dream and future, for
this reason, is not a good idea. So, why not work part-time to support
your finances? Sounds great, right?
There are many part-time job opportunities in Canada that you can go for
while studying there. You can work part-time, either on-campus or
off-campus. Working part-time is not only going to help you with
managing your expenses but also with gaining work experience.
International students can work for a maximum of 20 hours per week of a
paid job. Nonetheless, students enrolled for an intensive course are
advised to work for a maximum of 12 hours per week.
Let us have an in-depth look at part-time job opportunities in Canada for International students.
Benefits of Part-Time Jobs
Many students choose to work part-time while studying due to their
financial requirements. Nonetheless, quite a few of them do so
voluntarily. There is no harm in working part-time as long as one can
balance study and work.
The study should not be compromised at any cost; after all, you have
spent a good amount of money to study at your dream university and
destination. Mentioned below are a few (out of the many) benefits of
doing a part-time job:
1. Learning the task of budgeting
2. Earning a few extra bucks to enjoy at the weekend
3. Boosting your time management skills
4. Getting properly trained along with good money
5. Understanding the concept of dedication and hard work
How can you find a part-time job?
The bulletin boards on the university campus are used to display job
openings. You will also be acquainted with various websites that post
job openings and vacancies. You can work anywhere, such as:
1.Cafes
2.Restaurants
3.Coffee shops
4.Retail stores
5.As a lifeguard
6.Swimming coach
7.Translator if you know an additional language
The part-time jobs in Canada pay on an hourly basis. You may assist your
professor in research work. If you wish to work on-campus like this,
you do not require a work permit and can work beyond the stipulated
hours. Work of this kind is usually paid less but helps you gain work
experience. Students are free to work off-campus after completing six
months of study.
What are the part-time jobs (off-campus) and their salary in Canada?

On-campus part-time jobs in Canada are a good option for those who do
not want to live on-campus while working. There are several part-time
jobs within the campus to earn decent money. On-campus jobs are
challenging to get, so you need to make sure that you stick to the job
to keep it for a long time. Some of these job profiles are:
1. Library Assistant
