Can I manage part-time work while studying abroad, and how does it affect my finances in Canada/Italy?

Yes, you can work part-time while studying abroad, and it can help with your living expenses, though it usually won't cover full tuition.

- Italy: Up to 20 hours/week during term (max 1,040 hours/year). Italian language skills are often needed.
- Austria: Up to 20 hours/week with a residence permit; German is typically required.
- Canada: Up to 24 hours/week off-campus during academic sessions (as of Nov 8, 2024); full-time during breaks.

Wages and job availability vary by country and city. Part-time earnings can ease living costs but are rarely enough for tuition. Balancing work and academics is essential.
