As more and more students choose to study abroad, many are also interested in working while pursuing their education. Nevertheless, international students often have a lot of questions about the process, including whether it's possible, how to do it if a work permit is needed, the number of hours allowed, and how much can I make.
These questions are not trivial, as they show that the topic is important to students.
To help answer these questions,Erudera.com conducted a study and provided answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Some countries may also require that the student has already secured a job offer before applying for a work permit.
