Hi,
I have admission with funding from Concordia University. I am applying for study permit now, I am wondering whether I need to apply for work permit as well to be able to work as TA or research assistant at the university?
 
You dont need work permit because TA and RA is 'work on campus'.
As in CIC , http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-oncampus.asp

You may work on campus at the institution where you study without a work permit if:

you are a full-time student at:
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university, or a collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec or
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 per cent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees and
you have a valid study permit.
You must stop working on-campus on the day you no longer meet the above eligibility requirements (e.g., if you are no longer a full-time student.)
