 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING FOR PART-TIME JOBS-

 (1)    Different countries have different rules for students who want to work part-time. So before applying for one, look deeply into the rules book. Apply for the work permit if you want to work outside the campus.

(2)    Analyze the type of the job and whether it affects your prime goal, i.e. studying. The job should have minimal impact on your education

(3)    The job should be rewarding enough with extra tips such as enhancing your communication skills, good work experience, and opportunities to meet new people

(4)    The employers should be considerate enough. 

TOP PART-TIME JOBS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS-

(1)    CAFES / RESTAURANTS- Most of the students find working at Cafes & restaurants as waiters/waitresses, in the billing section, or the kitchen, based on your experience and skills. These kinds of jobs are easy to find in any city and are mostly open to hiring

However, most of the restaurants/ cafes have high business during the evening which follows the morning lectures, which can sometimes disturb the study schedule. So, this is something to be looked after during the job hunt.

 The minimum wage might vary from 8 CAD/hour to 10 CAD/hour.

 2)    UNIVERSITY WORKS- Working in the University is one of the most in-demand jobs for students looking for part-time jobs. It includes jobs like working in the cafeteria of the university, library, teaching assistance, computer departments, writing departments, news and articles departments, student unions, student clubs, etc.

These jobs are relatively low-paying but don’t impact your studies are they are assigned by the university themselves and you don’t need a work permit for it.

There is always a huge competition, so better be prepared for it!

(3)    INTERNSHIPS- You can also seek internships in your field of study. This would give you real-time experience and money, “two birds, one stone.”

However, it is very challenging to land one while the competition is huge.

 (4)    CALL CENTRES & CUSTOMER SERVICE - Call centers jobs require excellent communication skills but minimal or no physical works. The work pressure varies depending upon the nature of the company, descending from sales-related tele calling to customer service.

Minimum wages starting from 14 CAD/ hour to 16 CAD/hour.

(5)    SUMMER JOBS- This means all the above jobs but during summer breaks. Summer jobs are preferable for students who want uninterrupted study time during term-time. Students can work full-time during the summer, or part-time and can also continue during the term.

The wages per hour vary from city to city and can be as minimum as 8 CAD/ hour to 22 CAD/hour.
