Hi friends. Does anyone know of any part time jobs that can be done before you receive your work permit in 6 months. even though its considered illegal i have heard that there are students those work part time before they receive their work permit. Can anyone update on the jobs that can be done out of their exp or knowledge. It would be helpful

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
 
You can find cash jobs but its illegal. And dont risk you study permit status for a cash job of few hundreds. You can work on campus till then

They pay you by cash (and thus there is no documentation of any sort of salary or taxation) and since they are letting you work without work permit, they pay the minimum wage/hour (like $9/hr).

Canada is a big country, knowing these information is kinda impossible. But you can be severely prosecuted if caught! That's the law.
 
Thank you for the Info. If once received Work Permit. what jobs can be attained by international students and what would be the average wages if you have a work permit ?

It will depend on your preference like what kind of job you want to do. You can work from walmart (part-time) to an industry (during full-time). In both the cases, the wage will range from like 10-15 per hour or may go higher depending on you.
