International students in Canada have an option to do part-time work which helps them meet their educational and living expenses to a certain extent. Besides, it helps them earn valuable Canadian work experience, which will prove useful in their future career.
A Canadian study permit holder may work up to 20 hours per week. But students enrolled for difficult or intensive courses may choose work lesser hours, a maximum of 12 hours per week so that the work would not affect their studies.
Students are paid on an hourly basis for their part-time work. The average pay is around $10 an hour. In order to work part-time outside the campus, the student needs to obtain an off-campus work permit after completing six months of study.
