Work and study

Hi frds,i want to know if there is much opportunity for an african student to work and study in canada.

Hi Tauus! I suggest you to have a look at the Canada expat guide.

Good luck. :)

It's very possible to study in Canada. Canada has a high number of international students and it's growing every year. Most places allow an international student to work up to 20 hours a week off campus during classes and full-time during holidays. Also, if you qualify, you can get a post-graduate work permit to seek work in your field and gain Canadian working experience after graduating from a Canadian institution.

Check out this page for information on getting study and work permits:

And here you can find a tool that allows you to allow all Canadian universities:

Best of luck!

Hi Tauus,

Don't forget to ask at your university. I'm in Canada for my studies as well but I can't work off-campus. Though, you can your university, there all lots of possibilities to find jobs on-campus.
Good luck!
