Night security guard in construction sites in London.

Then it was like security of all Construction sites in UK were handed over to Nigerians ( students and people without papers) and UK cleaning jobs to Ghanaians, till all those small countries joined EU and took over the two jobs.

We go to class in the morning, go home to rest for few hours and go to the site to read all night.
The job was so easy, our only duty was to call police if we see any intruders.

However I later discovered that there were many other jobs like Software Testing, Forex Trading etc

My advice is that you should go and meet your Pastor and tell him to introduce you to people in your field, who came to Canada with students visa ( stop hanging out with guys who has different type of visa )

Truth be told. I usually think that I would be able to work whenever I leave Nigeria for studies abroad. But I am here now and sometimes I wonder how I would be able to have supported myself if I was not sponsored by the school. To even find time for oneself after project reports, assignments and reading for exams is too hectic.
Thank God for scholarships.

NB: if you have to work abroad you may have to sacrifice your academic results for the cash. If you're for your academic pursuits, you better leave the job thingy.
where you schooling?

You'll be fine stop panicking. Look for cash and carry stores there you can get a cash at hand job to support you. Get your dbs sorted and you can be uber driver or taxi driver

Try to be a mortuary attendant.


you have to get a higher education to be a mortician. It’s a relatively well paid job too.
It’s high time we stopped being ignorant on this forum

Here’s a range of their salary in the western part of America. East coast probably pays even more.

Southern America pays less of course but still a decent pay

As a student, you have about 20 hours a week to work. Anything more than that authorities will come after you.

The best jobs you can as a student in Canada is logistics whether it is Warehouse or Delivery, logistics is the best option.

If you can knack very well, create a profile here and pay premium charges, you can knack older ladies and get paid about 150 CAD.

Learn German, search for work from here, go to German embassy website and search for visa to get work or training in Germany.

I worked as a Kitchen Porter, washing pot and pans in a hotel kitchen for over 6 months, then graduated to working in a warehouse for a further 2 years when I returned to the UK in the 1990s.

At the same time, I completed a part-time degree in Physic and another Degree in aerospace Engr and 15 years later I am now a director of a software company with homes in the Caribbean, Spain and London.

I will do what it takes to pay my bills, I never ask for a handout or take loans except from a bank.

Online Remote jobs anywhere anytime is better
You can get to earn as much as $30000(thirty thousand ) monthly or yearly depends on time spent and jobs completed because of your location doing transcribing or voice over. It's a lil harder from Africa especially Nigeria because of Online scams associated to such regions though some of us still find our way around the challenges!
