The Canadian economy is abundant of high-paying and high-quality jobs.

It is quoted that the economy created a whooping 400,000 jobs last year and the maximum among them belonged to the high-paying sectors. On the contrary to the manufacturing sector in which about 130,000 Quebec salary jobs were cut-off in 2007.

The employment quality index, combined with the part-time, full-time jobs and self-employment went high by 2.8 per cent last year ?the largest increase since 1999.

The loss of manufacturing jobs is being counterbalanced by the job gains in sectors with superior employment excellence where the jobs range from construction/real estate and manufacturing to lower-quality jobs. Whereas, jobs in low-paying industries dropped by 1.2 per cent.

In the 2009, Self-employment jumped 3 times faster than paid employment. Usually, self-employed workers earn about 80% the middling of full-time employees.

For years, the Canadian economy has benefited from strongly from the construction sector creating ample scope for employment.

The future of Quebec salary jobs

The Quebec, sector of information technology has enjoyed 20% growth in the last three years. However, the growth in that sector in Ontario was by 52%.

Ontario's automotive sector has had a rapid growth with technological change. In addition, Quebec's high-tech industries are mostly intense in Montreal.

It is said that Quebec has been the base of knowledge but the degree of commitment across all types of industries is considerably less.

Companies like Nortel which are hardware and software manufacturers enjoy overwhelming profits. For good jobs in the future at Quebec, high level of literacy is required. The mixture of high-tech and low-tech skills will increasingly emulate the unclear lines between the old and new economies.

The under 18 cannot work in Quebec because, according to the law there, someone less than 18 years of age is likely to be unfavorable to his/her education, health or physical or moral development(s.84.2 . Act).

Student's working pattern in Quebec

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) recently declared the off campus work permit program for international students. But it's clearly specified by the CIC that a student cannot rely solely on the income from a part-time job to finance their studies in Quebec because Quebec salary job potential is very limited

Students can accept a job related to their studies for a maximum duration of one year after completing their diploma under certain conditions. You must apply for a work permit before the student authorization expires and after finding a job, send an application for a social insurance card which is essential to work and pay taxes in Canada and can be acquired within 3 weeks. And remember the social insurance card is nowhere related to health care coverage. A work permit is necessary prior to you taking up a Quebec salary job or internship outside of the university/college campus.
