Hi All, I have 3 years of work ex in a consulting company in India and I'm moving to Canada in Jan to pursue post graduate course from York University. Any suggestions on how I can look for part time jobs there in consulting/analytics firms?
Also, with the new rule around no limit on work hours from students, can I try to get a full time job if it'd be manageable along with the studies?

Any suggestions/thoughts are highly appreciated, Thanks!

I am based here around 5 years.

Honestly at this time I wouldn't recommend you to come here.

Jobs are extremely hard to come by, companies are laying off left right and centre. And the jobs that are available, are paying peanuts compared to the insane inflation. Half or even 3/4 of your paycheck will go into rent and a car/gas/insurance itself. The rest you have to manage for food and other small expenses, including sending back home.

The Canadian market is 1/10 of American, both in population and GDP, hence there are much fewer jobs. And thanks to the lax immigration, wages are perpetually depressed.

You would be taking a loan, plus dipping into your savings, and finally foregoing a good salary in India as well.

If this question was pre 2020 would have told you go for it, what's the worse that can happen.

Definitely you can relook when the market improves.
