It can be difficult for foreigners to find high paying jobs in Canada without a degree. The cost of living for international students is on average $12,000 CAD per year, so it may be beneficial to work and study in Canada to help cover some expenses and gain professional experience abroad.

Are you an international student looking for a job in Canada? There are plenty of opportunities available, including on-campus jobs such as working at the athletic center, library, or with organizations you care about. Not only is this convenient, but it also allows you to get more involved in the student community and network with other students and professors.
The pay for these jobs varies depending on where you work on campus, but you will make at least the minimum wage. The minimum wage ranges from $11.45 and $16 CAD per hour across the country.
