Hey,

Today I got acceptance from Manitoba University for January intake and if I apply now for student visa I might get it by the next month or until October mid.

Should I move to Canada right after I get a student visa and start looking for a job and if I got the job in November so I could start working.

Will it possible or am I not allowed to work till I get started with the university.
I know there will be issues for recruiters to hire me as they will say that you will not be able to work full time after your college starts.

But I will be looking for Night shifts so that college and job both won't get affected anyway.

My main concern is can I go to Canada 1 or 2 months (If possible) early and start working?

No problem in arriving early but you might be challenged by CBSA to show you can support yourself in the period before your course starts given you cannot work legally until your course starts and then only max 20 hours a week.

Well, I can show that i can support myself financially and can show around 12k Canadian dollars in the account.

20 hours are quite low, so will it be possible to work 20hrs on paper but actually work for 30+ hours?
