Tap into University Career Services
Many universities and colleges offer career services that can help students find jobs. These services can help you navigate local job markets, connect with potential employers, and even help polish your resume and interview skills. Additionally, look for job fairs, workshops, and networking events hosted by your school to connect with employers directly. Finally, don’t underestimate the power of personal connections. Talk to professors, classmates, or family members who might know of available jobs, even if they’re temporary or part-time, and use LinkedIn to network too.

Stay Updated on Work Regulations
As an international student, it’s essential to stay informed about work regulations tied to your study permit. Recent announcements suggest students may be permitted to work up to 24 hours per week during school terms BUT these are not yet in effect.
Breaching your work hour allowances come with serious consequences. Consider signing up for our newsletter for news about immigration updates in Canada.
Focus on In-Demand Sectors
While traditional student jobs in retail and hospitality may be harder to find, certain sectors are still actively hiring. For example, the health care sector, logistics, and IT continue to grow. If you have skills that align with these industries or are willing to acquire new certifications, your chances of finding work will increase significantly. Some of these roles also offer remote work options, which could make balancing work and study easier.
