Working while studying is one of the biggest advantages of choosing Canada for one’s further studies. As per the current rules, most students are allowed to work for up to 20 hours a week while school is on and can even work full-time during scheduled breaks like the summer break or the Christmas break. The condition allowing one to work in Canada is listed with The Study Permit.
These jobs can be On Campus or Off-Campus.
