How to Make Money as a Student in Canada

Introduction

• So, you are strapped for cash, live in Canada,
  are a student, and need a solution. Here are six
  ways to make money as a student in Canada

3
Become an Uber Driver

• Depending on your schedule as a student,
  becoming an Uber driver may be a viable option
  for you. To become an Uber driver, you obviously
  need to have a license and the time between
  classes to drive potentially far distances. You
  should also have an above-average car. But,
  working as an Uber driver can get you some pretty
  easy money shuttling people around. If you live
  on campus or in a college community, you could
  really rake in dough, due to how many designated
  drivers may be need in these areas.

Work as an Extra on a Film or Television Set

• Vancouver is a prospering film community.
  Due to tax credits, a lot of productions shoot
  there all the time. So, if you live near
  Vancouver, you could get yourselves into one of
  these productions as an extra. You would just be
  hanging around in the backgrounds of some scenes.
  If you wanted to use this as a flow of income, I
  would suggest pursuing extra work on the
  weekends. You will be needed for an entire day of
  shooting. But, for a days worth of sitting and
  standing around, you will make anywhere from 100
  to 200. That is not too bad for doing absolutely
  no work at all.

Sell Your Clothes and Items You Do Not Have a Use
for Anymore

• If you are truly strapped for cash, the
  suggestion I would make to you would be to take
  inventory of all of the items in your apartment
  or dormitory and attempt to sell anything that
  you do not have any use for anymore. Most of the
  things you are going to be willing to part with
  alone will not be worth a ton of money, but the
  cumulative effect of many little things could net
  you some serious cash. You will have to put some
  great effort into his, whether that means selling
  them to friends or selling them online. But, you
  may be able to get some good cash on things you
  no longer have a use for.

6
Work on Your Campus

• On every college campus, there are great
  opportunities for gainful employment. Most
  campuses have shops available, whether they be
  coffee bars, food stands, etc. Each campus also
  has a library that you could work in. The thing
  about these jobs is that they require a lot of
  time, as they are actual jobs, and your
  employment status hinges on your grades. If you
  are failing a class, you may be relieved of your
  duties. Also, some campuses have on-campus jobs
  go towards your tuition, so if you are looking
  for extra cash, this may not be the opportunity
  for you.

Use Your Skills to Create a Sellable Item

• While you are at college, you are
  developing sellable skills, as it is all about
  setting yourself up for a career. Rather than
  waiting until after college to use these skills
  you are developing, why not take advantage of
  them right now? Start plying what you are
  learning right now as a freelancer to earn some
  extra cash on the side. If you are a writer, try
  to start writing for websites. If you are
  learning how to make objects or provide a real
  service, get out there and do the thing.

Become an Online Tutor

• As a college student, you will be
  learning so much information, so much so that you
  will have more than enough knowledge that you
  could become a tutor. You need to be careful with
  this, as you do not want to say you can provide
  information that you really cannot. But, if you
  feel equipped enough, I would look into
  SolutionInn. It is a freelance tutoring company
  that you can sign-up for right now. As soon as
  you sign-up and specify what you know the most,
  you will begin to get tutoring offers. From
  there, you can determine your price and start to
  earn money.
