What can study abroad in Canada do?

Many of these students studying in Canada will take part-time jobs in peacetime. Of course, it is not easy to study part-time in Canada. Let's learn how to realize the part-time job of international students in Canada.

I. qualifications

Immigration Canada announced that Canadian students do not need a part-time job certificate while studying abroad. Canadian students can work part-time in Canada as long as they hold valid study visas and study in qualified educational institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada, and the courses are certificates, diplomas or degree courses for six months or more, excluding preparatory courses and language courses, without applying for off-campus work permits or waiting for six months of study time.

Second, the duration.

Canadian students are still allowed to work 20 hours a week during classes, and there is no time limit on holidays. International students can also wait for full-time work during the "graduation work visa" after completing their studies (originally, they are not allowed to work while waiting for approval) until the application has a result, but the student visa expires 90 days after completing their studies, unless they hold a valid work visa or other documents allowing them to stay. In addition, at present, any student who needs to complete the internship can apply for an internship visa. From June, only international students studying in secondary schools or accredited colleges can apply.

Third, the type of work.

1, working on campus

There are many types of work, the workload is relatively small, and it is easier. Most of them only need to be completed by students after school, so it is more suitable for international students to apply. However, due to the large number of applicants, the competition is relatively fierce.

2. Working outside school

Sometimes they can get higher returns, and even some international students can 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 and suffering big losses; 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.

3. Paid internship

It can be understood as a part-time job involving credits, consolidating my professional knowledge through practical work. This kind of work is to calculate working hours and credits. While studying, there is also an income, which can reduce the burden of studying abroad. Reminder: There is no homework in Canada. Generally, COOP schools have cooperative enterprises or interview channels, and whether or not to accept them in the end depends on individual ability.

4. How much can I earn by working?

From 20 18 65438+ 10/0, the minimum wage in Ontario was officially raised to $65438 +04/ hour. In other words, as long as students are employed by employers through formal channels, they earn at least 14 yuan per hour. According to the relevant policies of Ontario, the minimum wage will increase at the rate of 65,438 Canadian dollars +0/ hour every year from June 2020, which is definitely a good thing for your work partner. For small partners engaged in catering and other industries, tipping is sometimes a considerable extra income.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) about part-time jobs.

Ensure that the study visa is valid.

International students must be registered as full-time students in the following higher education institutions: public colleges in Quebec, public universities, colleges of general and vocational education, and private colleges in Quebec (but 50% of the operating funds are provided by the government, running schools in accordance with the rules and regulations of public schools and recognized by the Canadian government, and bachelor's degrees can be awarded).

A valid social security number is required.

Hold the SIN number, which is the social security number. This is a 9-digit number, which is used to pay taxes and get benefits when working in Canada. It is also very simple to apply for SIN number: international students can apply for it free of charge when they go to Service Canada with school proof, personal passport and study visa. International students should choose the nearest service Canada to their address or school, so that they can get the news in time.

The specific situation of being unable to work
