| Employment opportunities :
Employment opportunities for international students are plenty. One can easily cover the living expenses from the part – time job earnings. |
| |
| On campus : Though international students are allowed to work on the campus of any publicly-funded, degree granting institution,
Most of the institutes assist the students in obtaining these jobs. |
| |
| Practical Training : In addition, there may be opportunities for practical training which entail a period of authorized employment, designed to allow foreign students to have professional work experience related to their field of study. |
| |
| Off Campus Housing : Usually many students share or rent apartments to save costs. Listings of available apartments or homes are published weekly in local newspapers. Rents vary greatly according to the location and time of year. (Cost: CDN $ 250 - $ 700 per month) |
| |
| Health Insurance : This is another very important criteria to take care of while doing financial planning. Most Canadian Institutes require that all students including international students be covered by an insurance policy that will protect them against medical, hospital bills if they get sick or are injured while studying at the college, as health care is very expensive. Some provinces like Alberta , British Columbia and Saskatchewan cover international students under their provincial health care plans. Students studying in other provinces must arrange for private medical coverage through private insurance companies, which approximately costs about CDN $ 35 per month. |
| |
| Cultural events : Another advantage that Canadians enjoy is a large immigrant population (in fact, everyone in Canada , except aboriginal Canadians is an immigrant or descended from immigrants). Besides the mixture of British, American and French cultures, Canada has large Chinese, East Indian, Korean, Italian, African and Middle Eastern populations. Canadians of all kinds gather to help celebrate and take part in events that highlight Canada 's multicultural society. Participation in these events can be a nice opportunity to socialize with the local population. |
| |
| Commuting and Public Transit : One can drive, carpool or bike, walk or take public transportation. Generally, public transit is run by the municipality, city, or town. In larger cities with a lot of commuters, there may also be provincially-run transit such as the GO trains and buses in the Toronto area. In most towns and cities, public transit means buses. Some cities also operate ferries, streetcars, and/or a metro, subway (underground) or elevated train system. |
