An excerpt from: Education au/in Canada.

Gain valuable work experience and supplement your spending allowance with part-time student jobs for international students. While you must supply sufficient evidence that you can pay for your tuition and living expenses before you arrive in Canada, there are a number of work permit programs for international students and their spouses/common law partners that make working in Canada possible. Working in Canada can go a long way towards helping you establish business contacts for the future and can even help you immigrate after graduation.

Working off-campus

The Off-Campus Work Permit Program authorizes you to work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions, and full time during scheduled breaks (for example, winter and summer holidays, and spring break).

Co-op/internships

The Co-op/Internship Work Permit Program is available to international students whose intended employment is an essential part of their program of study in Canada as certified by their Canadian academic institution. The work portion of this program can form up to 50 percent of the program of study.

On-campus work opportunities

International students who hold valid study permits and who are studying full time at eligible Canadian public and private universities or colleges may also be eligible to work on-campus at the institution where they study without a work permit.

An excerpt from the publication Graduate Studies: A Practical Guide of the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies.

Graduate school includes master’s programs (typically one to two years of full time study following an undergraduate degree) and doctoral programs (approximately four to six additional years of study which may follow a master’s degree).

The graduate learning environment is distinctly different from that at the undergraduate level. It has been characterized as advanced, focused and scholarly in nature:

• It is advanced because it builds upon an undergraduate education.
• It is focused because the emphasis in graduate studies is on depth.
• It is scholarly because it is concerned not simply with the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but with the critical analysis of existing knowledge and the creation of new knowledge. Graduate students are expected to acquire and apply advanced analytical and interpretive skills, as well understanding and/or producing research.

Although the expectations of students enrolled in graduate programs may vary, it should be recognized that graduate school represents a very different educational experience than that of undergraduate studies. Scientific discovery is seldom a linear process, and it is generally not possible to drive research directly towards a desired outcome. Discovery is a mixture of insight, effort, curiosity, and good fortune.

Graduate programs may be separated into three broad categories:

Professional programs – provide specialized skills and qualifications for a specific profession (i.e., Speech-Language Pathology, MBA programs).
Terminal programs – master’s and doctoral degrees are achieved separately. Students apply to doctoral programs after first completing their master’s degree.
Non-terminal programs – master’s program feeds directly into doctoral program without option of stopping after master’s. May be entered into directly from undergraduate studies.

Additionally, your degree may be:

• Course-based – a combination of required courses, practicum placement, qualifying exam, independent research, or capstone course or project.
• Thesis-based – a combination of required courses and a thesis project under the supervision of a thesis advisor.

Thesis-based master’s programs provide an opportunity for students to explore the possibility of pursuing research as a career. The normal time to completion of this degree is two years, although completion of a high quality thesis may require a longer period of time.

Students are expected to display enthusiasm and dedication towards completing the objectives that define their research projects, which can mean working on their projects beyond a standard work week. In research, the end result is nearly always determined by the effort and commitment of the student to the project. The reward for this is the opportunity to pursue research questions and lead discovery in diverse and important areas that are directed at reducing human suffering and improving our understanding of the world.

An excerpt from the publication Graduate Studies: A Practical Guide of the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies.

Many students pursue graduate studies for the love of learning and discovery. For others, cultural motivation and family traditions have an unquestionably positive influence on the decision to enter graduate studies. Some students pursue graduate studies because their chosen profession requires a graduate degree while others are looking to change career paths or better position themselves for advancement opportunities.

In research programs, graduate students are involved in both the development and the responsible conduct of original, important research and scholarship. As such, graduate students should be excited by carrying out in-depth and detailed studies in the spirit of creative and imaginative inquiry.

Graduate students and their work are an important part of an ongoing research process that helps us to better comprehend the human and natural world in which we exist. This research provides the human community with ways of understanding natural, cultural, imaginative, social and technological phenomena and investigating problems through the pursuit of knowledge. Graduate students are thus engaged not only in a social process that provides society with new ways of looking at the world’s complexity, problems and beauty, but in a personal quest for bettering their lives or expanding their learning and insight.

Recently, people with graduate degrees have been referred to as “highly qualified personnel”. In today’s knowledge economy this level of qualification is a valuable asset for an increasing number of jobs. According to the 2007 National Graduates Survey (Class of 2005), 93 percent of graduates of master’s programs were employed at the time of survey. As one might expect, earnings increase with education levels, with the largest earning premiums between the bachelor and master levels (Bayard & Greenlee, 2009).
