Jobs depends on you , ur expertise and ur networking....
 
no matter how qualified you are and how much extensive work experience you have in your own country, unless you have Canadian experience, its going to be difficult for you to get a job. i suggest that you start by volunteering for community and welfare program and gain experience from that. there are enough jobs for the right people. it would help to build a good contact base like momi said.

I think he was referring to Job while you're a student. You'll find a job Zain. Dont worry. Its all about a little effort and know how about the availability.

on campus and off campus job depend on lots of factors.
1. university( does university have enough on campus jobs?)
2. city in which the university is.(are there jobs around university)
3. number of international students competing for on campus and off campus jobs
4. ur contacts in and around university
5. ur ability to work hard and keep a job.( u should be ready to do any kind of job like sweeping cleaning etc)

Yes it would be difficult but not impossible.... i have to work really hard... But have you came across any person who has been able to pay his fees from such odd jobs ?
 
My concern is that whether i would be able to pay my second year fees at my own not full fees at least instalment .... as i will be paying full fee for first year.... after that will decide upon some instalment plan with university.....
 
i suggest u go through other sections of this forum like settlement, housing and working in canada ..even though they r not completely same as ur case they will give u idea about real life in canada .....

If you work hard enough you shall be able to save up enough money to pay your tuition. It's not really that tough to find a job. Keep in mind you'll only work on campus for first six months and thereafter you'll need to apply for off campus work permit. In order to be eligible for off campus work permit I believe you'll need to maintain certain GPA. Anyhow, the answer to your question is that you should be able to save up enough money for next years tuition. Average number of hours you can work in first six months is 20 hours/week @ around lets say minimum $10.... $10 * 20 hours * 52 weeks in a year is about $10,000 approx. I am sure you can work more than 20 hours here and there. So don't worry about it... You'll be fine =)
