Cape Breton is a bit out of downtown Sydney,NS but rents in Sydney are like 700$ for a 2 bedroom which you can share with another student. So 400$ for rent and utilities

cellphone would be about 50$ a month as well

Food is a bit more expensive in Atlantic Canada as compared to Quebec/Ontario so I'm guessing about 200$ a month

I'm guessing there will be a bus pass or something so 80-100$ a month for that max.

Add it up = 400+50+ 200 + 100 = 750-800 $ a month, not bad at all

As for part times, students, especially those without work experience mostly end up in min wage jobs which are like 10.7$/hr

But I doubt it's easy to find employment in Sydney,NS. Seasonal employment at best, not something steady

Would I be able to get a part time job in sydney if I study at cape breton university ? please consider that I dont belong to an affluent family and would have to earn my fee myself.what about full time jobs ? please reply soon.

I also have same question.I have no doubt that i would be quite difficult to pay fee by working 20 hours a week. But many students work on cash illegally but that can be managed somehow.The main concern is that -Are enough part time jobs available -I can even do two jobs simultaneously.

Hi . I am from India. I got offer letter from Cape Breton University. But I am scared about the availability of part time jobs near there. Can anyone give me an idea whether the part time can be obtained within atleast two month time?

You should be expecting minimum wage since you'll be working part time jobs and don't have any Canadian experience.

Yes - I would count on spending $200 month on food - maybe more.

Hello Scylla

I hope you are well !

Could you please shed some light on part time job prospects and living expenses in Toronto/GTA.
Also do employers offer just more than minimum wage of 15$/hour(in Ontario).
Thanks in advance!

There are certainly part time jobs - however living expenses are very high. You should be expecting to make minimum wage as a student. Minimum wage is $14 (not $15).

Can anyone please give the idea of part time job availability near Cape Breton University? I got the offer letter. I will have to pay the first year fee within Wednesday. I need to know whether we will be able to get part time jobs within 2 months time.
