According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), full-time registered International students can work on campus.

International students who are granted a job on campus, must be given a contract of employment from the department hiring in order for the student to apply for a Social Insurance Number (S.I.N.) at a local HRDC
(Human Resource Development Canada) office. HRDC will not issue a S.I.N. # to an International student without a contract of employment. International students require a S.I.N. in order to work

Algonquin College offers accommodation through the Homestay program to International students who wish to experience living with a Canadian family during their study abroad experience. Living with a Canadian family can help improve English language skills while providing a warm and supportive learning environment.

Students have an opportunity to learn about Canadian culture and lifestyles and to share their cultural   background with their host family. 

The Homestay Coordinator will try to match the student application to that of a suitable host family.   Students are provided their own furnished room and three meals a day.

International students considering the Homestay program should realize that Canadian families come from a diverse multi-cultural background. Students are expected to integrate into the family and participate in the   family's daily routines. Students should realize that both adults may work outside the home and maintain a busy schedule of activities both work-related and social. Students should understand that although many    families enjoy participating in the Homestay program, each family enjoys a different lifestyle.

The Homestay monthly fee is $650 CAD.  There is a $100 CAD placement fee and a $600 CAD security   deposit must accompany your application for the Homestay Program. The security deposit will be returned   to the student one month after leaving the homestay provided that there are no outstanding expenses and    sufficient notice has been given.
