ROTFLOL!

Good luck with that. Not a chance that you can save up enough on a part time job for tuition and pay your living costs. You can barely make your living costs on a min wage job, let alone part time. And minimum wage is pretty much where we all start when we get here.

No - not possible.

You should readjust your expectations before you come to Canada. Otherwise you're going to be extremely disappointed. I suspect you have been listening to too many lying consultants.

Just wanted to know if the students can cope with studies while doing part time job or its hard ?
There's no black and white answer.

It depends on the student (how well they are able to handle their studies) and also depends on the program they are taking (workload). Some find it very difficult to work 20 hours per week in addition to attending school - some do not.

Hello,

My straightforward answer to your question is "YES" provided you try to manage your expenses. By doing a part time you can make around $800 to $1000 in a month. It wholly depends on you and only YOU.

PS: There are people who make $2000 per month in a marketing job.

I hope it was useful.

What if I'll be with my spouse? Can he work full time?
If we both work part-time, I think this can help in our living expenses and enough to pay for the tuition in the next semester right?

If your spouse is approved for a work permit, he can work full-time. However, unless he is skilled, he probably won't be able to get a job paying much more than minimum wage. You should not expect to be making enough to both cover living expenses and pay international tuition fees.

If you don't already have enough money or have family help to pay your tuition, you should reconsider your plans to study in Canada.

yes, but we should always keep worst case scenario in mind and keep a backup plan.
part-time job would be okay for monthly expenses but dont expect more than that. and If you have co-ops in your course, then you can manage your tuition out of it.
