Yeah i m also in same bandwagon as u r , haha .
see this FAQ i got from sheridan website
Q10. Can I work in Canada while I'm attending Sheridan?
A. Yes, you are allowed to work on campus while you are studying. You may also be eligible for a off-campus work permit after studying full-time for six months with a minimum GPA average of 2.0. You can also apply for a work permit if your program of study has a (cooperative education option). After you complete your program you are eligible to apply for a post-graduate work permit within 90 days of program completion.
 
Yes, its true that legally we can work on campus so far as our grades remain good and satisfactory. Meet the concerned college representative as soon as your college starts. But don't completely rely on that to pay your fees as the pay might not be very high.

Moreover on campus jobs are very very very hard to get.As u have around 15000 students competing for the same job !

Hi,

Yes, it looks not too many options (especially for average students). Most of the well paid on campus jobs comes for teaching assistant, Tutor for juniors, Assistant in Department, private tuitions and may be few other jobs as well (but may be hard to find vacant position).

* I am not in Canada so I am saying it just on the basis of what I have noticed/observed so far. It's better if someone can share his/her personal experience.
 
Everyone would like to have an on campus job and this very fact makes it very difficult to get one on campus job.

can some one quote anyone who got on campus job.

Nice to read you guys ain't fighting anymore :D.

By the way I guess noone or hardly any Indian student works on campus.
 
As mentioned earlier, on campus jobs are extremely competitive and hard to get a good one (like library and stuffs). But if the university has a big campus (aka public university), there would be loads of food shops and they constantly hire people and they pay at least the minimum wage set by the province (8 to 10). Better on campus jobs like bookstores and libraries are more of "referred" basis and they take people whom the admin knows. If you can get in touch with managers/executive body members of some sort of associations, that would be a plus for securing better job. Like here at uofc, they pay $15/hour at library while $10 (at max) in food shops.

About the 20hours/week, its just a guideline and nothing mandatory. If you can manage, you can work for more than that. But just a heads up, the study over here literally "kills" you if you don't give it enough time. I once enjoyed a long weekend without studying and had to go through a tidal wave! :P Those who arrive here at Fall gets advantage of working full time during summer but for people coming in January, that's a negative point since the work permit would be issued at the end of summer for them.

Over here, work and education is more or less like a trade off of each other.
