<p>In order to obtain a visa, you must have at least $10,000 in cash on hand for living expenses. However, you should budget significantly more to make your living comfortable. When studying in Canada, most universities recommend that you have at least $15,000 on hand. University housing is less expensive than private rented housing in many countries, so make sure you choose a living arrangement that fits your budget. It&#39;s usually a good idea to have more money on hand than you think you&#39;ll need. If you want to work part-time while you study, you may be able to do so, but there will be restrictions. International students do not need a work permit to work on or off campus as long as they have a study permit (which you need to study in Canada). During the school year, you will be able to work up to 20 hours each week. You should not rely on part-time work to pay for your study.</p>
