dear Malik,can u guide ? is there any chances for a student to earn something during undergraduate study?My son has got admission in Electical engineering McGill univ
McGill university of really good ..... Engineering is really expensive ...... there are two options for earning ...
1- You study for two semesters full time .......and 3rd semester you can apply for off campus work permit which is open work permit .... and you can work as much as u want and earn as much as u can.... usally work permit is issues for 2 to 3 years .... so does not matter wot happens to your studies at later stage work permit is still valid ............. but u have to keep ur studies at least going even at minimum grade ... to not to be illegal .....
Regular earning if u get a ok type job is about 1500$ per month for odd jobs....
2- You study for a year then in engineering and some of other professions you are eligible for Co-op ( which we call internship ) which is highly paid about 23 to 30 $ per hour depending on where u work.... if ur grades are good ..... u can express ur self in interviews .... you will click in co-op ...... > co-op is usually one semester in each year ... but u can get a continuous one year co-op all together and earn whole year ........... all co-op terms or if u work a full year ............. u will end up earning about 25 to 30 thousand dollars ... which will help u in paying ur fees ...........
You must remember one more thing that student fees you pay are tax free .... when u complete ur degree ...and work ......... about 1/4 of ur fees that u paid comes back to u as a tax rebate .......... lets say u paid 10,000$ tax in whole year ................ and ur fees are 40,000 that u paid during ur studies ..........you will get a 10,000 dollars check from government at the end of the year ...........and u will pay zero tax ......... but that is at the end of studies ........ government keeps all account of fees u paid .........
Remember these estimates i am providing are really good estimates ......... but just estimates ........... actual could go plus minus ...........depending on circumstances ........... but i am telling u all the opportunities that are there ..........
