Can a overseas university first year student work as a part timer in Canada?
Can a first year student work part time in Canada?? Does it differ according to the state that i'm living in? What is the typical salary working in a fast food chain etc.? What is the working hour limit for a student per week?? Help is much appreciated!

I know that some places you need to be a citizen of Canada to work because they require proof of citizenship and your Canadian social insurance number but you could try applying for a student work permit.. as for salary --> the minimum wage depends on what province you are planning on working in..the wages very from at least $8.00 - $10.00.. and the working limit would probably just be generally 40 hours.. after that you get into over-time hours and most employers don't allow you to go over because they have to pay you time and a half... but here's the Canadian Government site that should help you out, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work.asp hope i was some help! good luck!

Any international issue or law in Canada, is the same in every "province".You can study and get a "work permit" just whenever you get accepted into the university or college and you start your studying, the government of Canada needs from you a transcript from your previous semester(s) based on what you studied in Canada. Then you can apply part time job easily. you will wait to for an answer for like 1 and half months max. Edit: Salaries are only 9 max per hour. good luck
