For both of you aspiring taxi drivers. If you are a student and are only allowed to work on campus, you will be breaking laws and commiting a criminal offence punishible by imprisonment, fine and deportation.
Please keep this in mind you are here to study, which basically means you have satisfied immigration officer you are financially solvent to support yourself in Canada. By working outside campus you are not just breaking a law but also falsified your intention to study, which basically means you have lied in your application for work permit. Keep that in mind

Google it.  I found http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100322015050AA6J94T and http://forums.redflagdeals.com/taxi-driver-salary-440278/2/

The 1st link says 30,000 a year working 10 hour days.  The 2nd link says you can make 1000 a week if you work 12 hrs. a day, 7 days a week.  This info is a few years old though.  Maybe it is different today, could be more or less.
