Quick answer
Can Indian students find part-time jobs in Toronto?
Yes, within visa rules: up to 24 hours a week off campus during academic sessions; full time in scheduled breaks. At CAD 18 an hour, 20 hours a week earns about CAD 1,524 a month before tax — roughly 133% of a typical Toronto room (CAD 900 – CAD 1,400). Part-time income helps with living costs; it shouldn't be counted on for tuition.
