Where can an international student find a good job in Bangkok?

I'm a US student who wants to go to college in Canada (montreal, quebec) would I be able to find a job?

• If I were to go study in Montreal, would I be able to find a job? Would I be allowed to work because of my foreign status? How easy would it be to find a job for a US student with limited french? Of course, I'll be willing to learn french

• Answer:

  yes, you can work off-campus. but your best bet will be to work on campus. The Universities often hire their international students - you can work for the alumni association, work in the cafeteria, work in a lab, etc. there are a million jobs, none of which require you to speak French. They also tend to be more understanding of your school schedule and will cut you a break during finals (which will be important, especially if you go to McGill) Outside the school, it will be harder to find work, but not impossible. It used to be that int'l students could only work on-campus, but that changed 5 or 6 years ago. You now can work off-campus, BUT you are limited. You can only work here after you've studied here 6 months full-time, and then you have to apply for an off-campus work permit. You can only work a maximum of 20 hrs a week during the school year (see link below for more information). Also, don't let the people above scare you - it is possible to get a job off-campus if you only speak English. Many students from other provinces do just fine. I know many people who only speak English who work in Montreal (in retail, bartending/serving, customer service, office work - I even knew someone who worked as a receptionist and spk no french). Don't expect to find your dream job, but you can find some decent work without French - it's just a lot harder.
