Working while studying in Canada is one of the many benefits of choosing Canada as your study destination, there are so many advantages a student can avail while and after studying in Canada. Even without a work permit, most overseas students in Canada can work up to 20 hours per week and full-time during specified breaks. Working while studying can help you sustain yourself and meet new people while also allowing you to develop the contacts and experience that will help you stand out in the future job market.

In Canada, there is a strong culture of working while studying. However, remember that your studies come first, and don't be afraid to request time off during exam periods or in front of a major deadline. Students who work while studying have the same labour rights as all other workers in Canada, and you should be aware of these rights as well as your province's minimum wage. To file your tax return, make sure you get payslips and a solid record of employment.

What to do while studying in Canada?

  • While completing your study program in Canada, you would become eligible to work. Since the rate of employment is high in Canada, Canadian employers are generally keen on hiring students for internships and later providing full-time employment.
  • Prepare your résumé (CV) and cover letter before you start looking for jobs or applying for them. Your resume and cover letter are your best opportunity of attracting the eye of a potential employer and distinguish yourself as the finest applicant for the job. Make sure your CV is current and formatted according to Canadian employer expectations. Your cover letter is an opportunity to showcase your personality and accomplishments. Create a unique cover letter for each post, emphasising how you meet the specific requirements. If you're applying online, your cover letter can serve as an introduction email to which you can attach your resume in PDF format.
  • There are various areas where you might begin your employment search. Hundreds of part-time job advertisements can be found on websites like Indeed, Monster, and Craigslist. Your city or town may have its own job portal, such as for jobs in recreation centres, libraries, or government.
  • You may also go for a walk around your neighbourhood to see if any businesses or eateries are hiring. If you try this strategy, bring paper copies of your resume with you, dress professionally (for example, a collared shirt, not blue jeans), and be aware of your availability. If something appears interesting, ask to talk with someone about the position. This is a terrific opportunity to make a solid first impression in person, and it could lead to a job interview on the spot. This method of networking your way to success is tried and true, and we have a thorough guide on networking tactics to assist you.

What to expect after finishing your study in Canada?

Unless enrolled in a visa program that allows you to work after completion of your degree, you would have to stop working after completing your degree/course of study.

There are however certain ways to continue to work in Canada under different conditions.

  • If you plan to stay and work in Canada, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which allows you to work for any employer in Canada for up to three years following graduation. If you're eligible and want to work in Canada, you must apply within 180 days of obtaining written confirmation that your study program is complete.

What to expect after finishing your study in Canada?

  • If you're starting a new study program (for example, pursuing a Master's degree after completing a Bachelor's), you can work between the programs if you, during your last study program were permitted to work off-campus. Having a valid study permit or having requested an extension before it expires also helps you retain a job in Canada. Having received written certification of your program completion or receiving an admission notice to a new full-time study program at a DLI within 150 days of obtaining confirmation that your previous program has been finished can also help you stay back for working opportunities.
  • If you do not apply for the PGWP but later decide to return to work, you may be eligible for one or more of the International Experience Canada (IEC) categories, which allow young people from a variety of countries to work in Canada for a year or two, depending on the category and citizenship country.
