Is it easy to get part time jobs in Canada for international students? Which jobs are easier to get?

As an international student, it won’t take you long at all to find a part-time job once you’ve settled into your new home in Canada.

On the first day of school, you shouldn’t be nervous or isolated by yourself. Make an effort to interact with students from other classes. It would be helpful if you could find students who are from either your own country or countries that are nearby.

After some time has passed, you should try to make contact with senior students because they have more experience in this setting. as a result, they will provide you with information regarding potential openings for jobs to which you can apply. In the event that none of the suggested locations have any openings. Don’t be concerned. Keep working at it. You will get it. In the meantime, you should get in touch with the local employment agencies. There is enough work there to keep you busy for a few hours.

Your Resume matters a lot

For part-time jobs, make a concise resume. Remember to mention (a) Your Availability – because you are a student, the employer is interested in knowing which days and times you are available and which ones you are not. (b) Languages you speak.

My experience

As a student from another country, I came to Montreal the year before last. I was able to meet a few guys from my country, and through those interactions, I learned that many guys from my country attend weekly social gatherings at religious location. I made more friends there. I was able to get some pointers for the open positions, and thanks to my good luck, I was able to land a job at Greenhouse in just two weeks.

In point of fact, the majority of the students from my class that I knew were successful in finding employment within a month or two at the absolute most. After waiting a few weeks, I decided to apply for a part-time job at Canada Post, and I was successful in getting the position.

Because of the high volume of mail that is received between Thanksgiving and January 1, Canada Post typically begins its hiring process in the month of October. Given that Canada Post can be found in every community across the country, this is another viable option.

You are required to do these things.

1. The first and most important requirement is that you need to have CONNECTIONS in Canada. These connections can be through family members, friends, or sponsors. You should have no trouble finding a part-time job or even working for them and getting paid if you have that (this is my case).
2. Secondly, you should be in good physical shape and have a good command of the local language because the local climate and language will be different.
3. Third, you should have the ability to persevere through difficulties such as loneliness, exploitation, and even, on occasion, discrimination at the hands of local employers and employees…
4. Fourth, keep in mind that the larger the city in Canada, the greater the number of jobs that will be available, and the converse is also true: the lower the pay of the job, the easier it will be to get…

I really hope that this is helpful, and I wish all of you the best of luck. Personally, I moved to Canada as a newcomer 35 years ago, so I thought I’d share some insights with you and, once more, wish you all the best of luck. I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

So in summary, Getting hired in Canada is not all that difficult. If you are currently enrolled in school, you are permitted by law to work a maximum of 20 hours per week. You might be able to get jobs on campus as well, depending on the university you attend and the major you study. If not, you will most certainly be able to find work as a part-time employee at places like Tim Hortons, gas stations, and Home Depot, packaging, quality assurance, administrative jobs in retail shops, and/or labor-intensive manufacturing companies.

In Canada, one need not look far to find employment of this kind. There are also jobs that pay cash that you can get. The majority of jobs at gas stations are paid in cash. However, in order to be considered for these positions, you will need to provide references. A significant number of students from India and Africa work part-time at gas stations. If you are able to build a network, obtaining jobs like these will be much simpler and quicker for you to accomplish. In order to be considered for these jobs, you do not require any previous experience and/or so-called “Canadian” experience.
