Canada's policy stipulates that:
1. International students studying in public universities can work outside the school during their studies;
2. International students can legally work in Canada for 3 years after completing their degree education in Canadian universities;
3. When international students transfer between Canadian universities, they don't need to apply for a student visa again.
There are three main forms of work for students studying in Canada: on-campus work, off-campus work and CO-OP (paid internship).
First of all, talk about campus work. There are many kinds of jobs on campus, and the workload is relatively small and relaxed. Most of them only need students to finish in their spare time, so they are more suitable for international students to apply. However, due to the large number of applicants, the competition is relatively fierce.
Working while studying in Canada-working on campus;
Part-time job in computer room: Computer rooms in Canadian universities often employ some students as computer assistants to provide information and on-site help to students who use computers on site. In addition, Canadian university laboratories sometimes hire some students to clean.
School canteens: Universities in Canada basically have canteens, and usually employ some students as staff except managers and chefs. This kind of job opportunity is more and easier to master, and it can often solve the dining problem, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Library: Libraries of Canadian universities often employ some students to sort, stack, classify and clean books. Because of the excellent environment of the library, it can take the opportunity to study and complete the course, so this kind of work is highly competitive.
Student apartments: The management of school apartments is often faced with a shortage of staff, so students will be hired as management assistants, but most of them are graduate students, and freshmen are unlikely to be entrusted with such an important task.
Administrative organ: The administrative organ of the school sometimes hires some students to help classify materials and print forms. This kind of work requires students to be more careful, but sometimes they can get on well with the top management of the school after work, which is helpful to apply for more job opportunities. As the saying goes, "the moon comes first by the advantage of the water."
Working while studying in Canada-working outside the school;
International students who work off campus sometimes get higher pay, and some even earn thousands of Canadian dollars. However, we should also pay attention to the trap of working outside the school, and beware of the phenomenon of coveting high wages and high profits. Most of the off-campus work to study in Canada is concentrated in the local Chinese community or Chinatown, which solves the language problem on the one hand and makes it easier to communicate on the other.
The types of work are as follows:
1. Simple jobs: These jobs are generally in restaurants, supermarkets and service industries. Foreign students who have just arrived in Canada can choose this kind of job if their English is not up to standard. Such as washing dishes, kitchen chores, supermarket goods sorting and so on. The work content is simple and the income is decent.
Second, technical work: This kind of work is suitable for skilled international students. Such as massage, painting brush, planning, chef and so on. Engaged in this kind of work, although the content is complicated, the income is not cheap. If the technical level is higher, the income may go directly to a higher level.
3. Language work: If foreign students pass the language test and master the advantages of both English and Chinese, they can apply for various jobs. Such as translators, cashiers, tutors, Chinese teachers and so on. Sometimes this kind of work is not only rich in income, but also can reach more people and open up a road for their future.
Fourth, family work: this kind of work is mainly family nanny, picking up children, helping people walk their dogs and so on. Some families in China want their children to continue to master Chinese, so they are willing to hire students from China.
