National employment policy full contact

The high cost of studying abroad makes most international students work to increase their income and reduce the financial burden on their families. However, due to the lack of understanding of the policies of foreign students working in various countries, some people have violated the rules of work. One of the important reasons for the expulsion of international students is that many international students are working overtime. In order to let the readers have more understanding of the foreign policy of studying abroad, this article introduces the situation of several major study abroad countries as follows.

United States: There must be a "work card" for working
Students who come to study in the United States generally hold two types of visas, namely the j1 student visa and the f1 private student visa. According to US immigration regulations, formal students with a j1 visa can work 20 hours a week, but the nature of the job must be related to their studies; students with an f1 visa can work 20 hours a week, but the scope of work must be within the campus. Throughout the work of the American campus, there are many physical strengths, such as organizing books in the library, cleaning the food in the cafeteria, selling food, and so on. The wages for these jobs are the minimum wage in the United States, which is $5.75 per hour. In this way, it is only 460 dollars a month, and it is good to be able to make ends meet.
The Immigration Department's 20-hour week is only for the official semester, and it can work for 40 hours in the summer, and is not limited to campus. However, before you can find a job, you must go to the International Student Office of the school to apply for a work permit. After that, go to the Immigration Bureau to do a "work permit", that is, "work card." Many international students regard summer as a good opportunity to “make money” and generally prefer Chinese restaurants. There are many kinds of jobs in Chinese restaurants. You can go to pick vegetables, wash dishes, cut vegetables in the kitchen, watch the oil pan, clean the table in the church, pour the water, and then the collar. The best is to be entertained, because the hospitality not only takes the basic salary, but also takes a tip. Tips in the US are generally 15% to 20% of the cost of meals. If you do something else, I am afraid that even the federal minimum wage will not be available, because in general Chinese restaurants do not recognize the rules of any country.

Canada: Working only on campus
The Canadian Immigration Act stipulates that only Canadian citizens or immigrants who are 18 years of age or older can work legally in Canada. According to regulations, foreign students are not allowed to work outside the school, but they can work in schools and their wages are not taxed.
Foreign students working in schools cannot exceed a certain number of hours and cannot affect their studies. For example, if a student has 5 classes in a semester, then he has no time to work at school; if he is in 3 classes, he has time to work. If a student wants to graduate early and take 5 courses in one semester, the burden of study will be quite heavy, and he will be overwhelmed. How can he have time and energy to work? The jobs for international students working in the school mainly include libraries, student canteens, and international student service centers. They can also take care of laboratories and do some work for collecting information for professors.
Some students secretly work in a shop opened by Canadians in the city, 6.5 Canadian dollars an hour, the boss gives cash, no tax deduction. I heard that in some places in Toronto, most foreign students work outside the school to earn tuition. It is said that the Immigration Bureau also knows this situation, but based on the complicated and cumbersome considerations, it is a glance at it.
The immigration law also stipulates that any employer who hires a foreigner without immigration status must report to the immigration office and apply for a work visa as required. Otherwise, the employer will be subject to financial penalties and may even be revoked or licensed.

France: No work is allowed in the first year
The French Ministry of Education stipulates that foreign students are prohibited from working during the first year of study so that students have enough energy to study. Therefore, everyone must be prepared for a minimum of one year's living expenses before going abroad. In France, with a variety of preferential policies for students, we can estimate this number between 7,000 and 9000 euros. In the second year, only students who have started professional study are eligible to receive a work card. The so-called work card is the work permit that you get from the police station after signing the contract with the employer. Without this work card, you are a "black worker." And if the boss is caught by the police station with "black workers", he will not be able to eat and walk, the fine is not discussed.
In France, the minimum wage for working is 7.5 euros per hour and 45 euros a day for work. Generally speaking, international students who do not have special skills and engage in physical work can only get a minimum wage.

Australia: A visa is required to work
Although the cost of studying in Australia is lower than in Europe and the United States, middle school students only need at least $14,000 for tuition and accommodation, and about $20,000 for college students. In order to alleviate the pressure on the family economy, many international students go out to work in their spare time and earn some subsidies.
The relevant Australian departments have clear regulations on student work. According to the Canberra Education Bureau official, students who apply for employment must be over 18 years of age; they must have a student visa that allows them to work. Offenders will be disqualified from school and repatriated.
The specific procedure is as follows. International students can obtain a student visa application form that allows them to work in the school or immigration department according to the 571 visas they have at the time of entry, and then apply to the immigration department to change the student visa. If approved, you can work.
The school's rule is that students can work no more than 25 hours a week, and holidays can be relaxed. According to the introduction of international students at the Australian National University, applying for a working visa is one thing, but specific employment is another matter. There is not much living here, and there are so many porridges that you can't find a job.

Japan: There are time rules for working
In Japan, there was no regulation on the employment behavior of international students. However, as the number of people who came to study in the name of learning actually increased, the Japanese government introduced a law in June 1990, requiring workers to work. International students must first obtain the consent of the university, and then use the school's certificate, the employer's contract, the alien registration card, and apply to the Immigration Bureau for a “licensed activity permit” before they can start working. Time has also been detailed. The reason is that international students are not coming to Japan to make money, nor should they rely on working to cover all expenses, including tuition and living expenses.
There are two main types of Japanese students, namely foreign students who hold “study abroad” and “school” visas. Universities and short-term students and specialized school students who are on the “study abroad” visa are required to work within 4 hours per day, but they are allowed to work 8 hours a day during the summer vacation from July 1 to August 31. The graduate students in the “study abroad” visa are more restricted to students, graduate students, or college students, and the short-listed students are generally allowed to work for 2 hours a day, but as above, from July 1 to August 31. During the summer vacation of the day, work is allowed for 8 hours a day. Language school students with a “school” visa are required to work within 4 hours per day.
