What are the requirements for studying in Canada?

Because many students want to work while studying in Canada, the rules for these students to work for international students in Canada must be clear. Let's take a look at the regulations and types of study abroad in Canada.

I. Requirements for studying and working in Canada

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.

For students studying in Canada, it is very common and common to work while studying abroad, which can help parents reduce their burden and increase their work experience. Below, for the students who are going to study in Canada, we will introduce the types and opportunities of working while studying in Canada.

Study visa (study permit)

If a Canadian student holds a valid study visa and is registered in a qualified educational institution, certificate course or degree course (excluding preparatory courses and language courses) in Canada, the total duration of the course is more than 6 months (no need to wait for the study time of 6 months), he can work part-time in Canada ~ no need to apply for a work permit certificate!

Students who want to work in Canada can first check whether there is a written permission to work outside the school on their study visa. Don't panic if you find that the work permit is not clearly stated on the student visa. If you are sure that you meet the requirements for off-campus work, you can apply for a new student visa from the Immigration Bureau ~

Social security number

Friends working in Canada need to use this social security number (SIN) when they need to pay taxes, refund taxes or receive benefits! The SIN number of international students is usually a piece of paper with a 9-digit number printed on it, which will directly affect your credit. Just give this number to your relevant person in charge at work.

However, not all international students meet the requirements for applying for SIN cards, such as students who are too young or part-time.

Second, the types of study and work in Canada

Campus work: There are many kinds of work 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. The types of work are as follows:

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.

Off-campus work: International students can sometimes get higher pay when they work off campus, and some can 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:

Simple jobs: These jobs are generally in restaurants, supermarkets and service industries. You can choose this kind of job when you first come to Canada to study English. Such as washing dishes, kitchen chores, supermarket goods sorting and so on. The work content is simple and the income is decent.

Technical jobs: These jobs are 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.

Language work: If international students pass the language test, they can apply for various jobs by virtue of their proficiency in English and Chinese. 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.
