How do I find a part-time job as an international student?

Start with your campus: career centres, on-campus jobs, and co-op offices are the easiest wins because they expect students. Off campus, most students can work up to 24 hours per week during study terms — check your study permit conditions and never exceed your limit, as it can affect future applications. Retail, food service, warehouses, and customer service hire students constantly; applying in person with a simple one-page resume still works for these roles. You'll need a Social Insurance Number before you start.
