Being an international student might make you cry on low bank balance but lots of expenses. So, there are many ways for students to get a passive income while studying abroad, such as-

 

  • 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.

 

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

 

  • UNIVERSITY WORKS- 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.

 

  • 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.

 

  • CALL CENTRES & CUSTOMER SERVICE - Call centres 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.

 

  • SUMMER JOBS- 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.
