Balancing Act: How to Work While Studying in Canada as an International Student

Studying in Canada offers a unique blend of world-class education and diverse work opportunities. For international students looking to enrich their academic journey with real-world experience, balancing work and study is key. Uniway Education is here to guide you through maximizing your time in Canada, ensuring you get the most out of both your studies and part-time work.


Understanding Work Eligibility

First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand the regulations surrounding international students' work rights in Canada. With a valid study permit and enrollment at a designated learning institution, you can work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. Recent policy updates have temporarily increased this limit, offering even more flexibility.


Choosing the Right Job

Selecting a job that complements your academic schedule is vital. Consider roles with defined hours and minimal take-home responsibilities. Campus jobs are an excellent option, offering convenience and community engagement.


Mastering Time Management

Effective time management is non-negotiable. Utilize digital calendars to track both academic and work commitments. Prioritizing tasks and setting clear boundaries between work and study times will help you maintain focus and reduce stress.


Planning for Success

Don’t forget to schedule in downtime. Balancing work and study is important, but so is your mental and physical well-being. Regular breaks and leisure activities are essential for a healthy study-work-life balance.
