International students have been becoming a big group in Canada’s universities or colleges. They come from different areas in the world such as Asia, Africa, and Europe. They arrived at Canada, are studying in here, and try to work in here in the future as well. So, whether they should be allowed to work has been becoming a more important question. In my opinion, I think they should be allowed to work while they are studying. I have three reasons to explain.

First, International students can reinforce their knowledge by practising in society. For example, international students who are studying engineering often go to worksite to practise for their technical skills which are taught in class. They can gain a lot of experiences via working outside, and they may also meet some difficulty that cannot be met in class. The experience can help students work in their future firms, and the obstacle can help them be better to overcome the difficulty.

Second, international students can reduce their tuition fees by doing part-time jobs. I know international students’ tuition fees are 3 times more than local students, so there is a greater demand in jobs for international students. They can work in their spare time and earn money to support their studying while accumulate extra experiences by working hard. That can also reduce the burden of international students’ parents. Because of too much money, their parents have to work hard to afford their children studying aboard. For the students, they obviously don’t want their parents working too hard, so they really need jobs to decrease their parents’ burden.

Third, international students can be orient to their new Canada’s life through working in here. Working outside is quick to orient a new place than staying at home. Through working in Canada, international students can realize the life of local people what they do every day, what they think of daily life, and how different between cultures. They can easily fit into Canadian society and get help to study well in school, because at that time they will not foreigners before. As a result, international students can interact with local students well. They do their team works together and make communications with each other. These all can help students fit into Canada’s life.

Overall, I think international students should work as a part-time job.
