please clear this confusion

Hi Icecool,

Thanks a lot for the valuable information [+1 to your ranking].

Was waiting for your reply.

This means if somebody saves around 1000 CAD per month then he is good with all living and study expenses (excluding tuition fees and airfare). I believe, with your estimates, people can live as low as 700 CAD a month.

GS

If you lucky enough to get a job which can get you $1000 dollars a month than yes it is sufficient if you live a not too much luxurious life...But your not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week in your study term..If ur working in your study term doesnt matter on campus or off campus(the permit is recieved after 6 months), the pay is pretty bad about 10.25 an hour for students which can prolly earn you about 225 dollars a week..But if you do a co-op in the middle of your study than it pays full salary and you can easily get your co op work permit after you apply. and oh by the way you can work full time in your vacations like summer vacations..

I haven't been to Missisuaga or waterloo so i dont know, but i have been to winsdor, hamilton and niagara..Niagara is a good city because of the tourism there and hence there are more jobs there..But hamilton and winsdor are pretty much like London Ontario(where i live)...So they cannot be classified as a big cities, I think for a international student its best to go to cities like montreal,toronto,vancouver, But in the end most of the students end up in Saskatchewan hahaha because of their relatively easier PR system for students.

And yes most of the jobs on the campus pay a national minimum wage, which i think is $10.25 or $10.50 per hour.

Hmmm... Thanks dear. Is it ok to go to some other province like Quebec and get immigration there, then again return to other province like BC, Ontario? :-X :-X

My program is co-op too, but it is in final semester. So what are the regulations for co-op? Do we are supposed to work only 20 hours during internship too? Full time work during vacations mean? more than 20 hours?? and what about weekends?

You can get a PR in quebec straight away after your studies but the problem is you need to have a good knowledge of french language.

If it is your study term, you cannot even work more than 20 hours in weekends..But say its your summer holiday for 3-4 months than you can work more than 20 hours.

I had a gap of one year too,but i still got my visa and its been one year since i am in Canada, in your SOP you can tell them what you were actually doing that time period of 2 years, whether you were studying or you were working or you were doing something part time or you decided to take brake from your study. Just whatever the reason of you GAP was, mention it in your SOP.

Man it depends where you live, i live in London Ontario, which is pretty small compared to some other cities such as toronto and vancouver...But to be honest i was very convinced that it will be easy to find a part time job here, but the truth is that its been 3 months since i got my off campus work permit and i am able to find nothing at all....And the funny thing is that alot of people i knew were saying that they will be able to pay off their tuition with a part-time job....Now they are realizing how hard it actually is in these economic times..Things are getting better but somebody with a lack of Canadian work experience will always have trouble to find a part time job..I am actually doing some volunteer work to get someting Canadian in my resume...Even tho i have a UK qualification as well, i am still having hard time to get something right...And dont work for the desis(indians), they are always looking to exploit students like you and me by hiring you illegaly and paying you in pennies..The best route is the legal route.. If your comming to Canada in hopes that you can actually pay off your tuition by working here than i am sorry to say that these are just dreams..Reality is really different here, i know people in toronto and even there they are not able to find jobs..Study well in Canada and than after you graduate with good grades there are alot of companies which can possibly hire you, but as my experience its still quite hard for a international student to find descent part time jobs...But you should always be looking, some of my friends got a job within 2 weeks of their arrival on campus others are waiting till now...Its really a matter of luck but the job market in Canada is quite tight too..

Thanks bro.....u really helped us all...
in future v may ask u more ques. as ur pr will b done earlier....
