Are international graduate students eligible for teaching assistantships in Canada?
Yes. However, the number of hours you are allowed to work per week may be restricted. Can I work while I’m at grad school in Canada? International students registered in full-time graduate study at a degree-granting post-secondary institution are permitted to work on that campus without a work permit. “On-campus” is defined as employment in facilities owned, leased or rented by the educational institution. The employer can be the university, faculty, student organization or private contractor providing services to the university and operating on campus. How long will it take to complete my graduate study in Canada? It depends on the type of graduate program you are taking and whether you plan to study full-time or part-time. Master’s degrees typically take between 1 and 2 years of full-time study, while doctoral degrees take between 4 and 7 years. Length varies according to the program and whether it is a thesis-based or course-based degree. Some degrees (like the MBA) may be available
