Are there job opportunities and part-time work options available for students in UAE and other countries in Australia/Canada?

Yes, international students can work part-time in the UAE and many other countries, but you must follow specific rules and obtain the required permits.

For the UAE:
- Work permit required: You need a part-time work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
- University approval: A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your university is mandatory.
- Working hours: Typically, up to 15 - 20 hours/week during classes; full-time allowed during official breaks.
- Common jobs: Tutoring, campus assistant roles, retail, hospitality, and internships.

Other countries such as Canada, Australia, and several in the EU also allow part-time work for international students, with their own hour limits and permit requirements.

Rules and limits are subject to change. For details on permits and finding jobs, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
