Study And Work Abroad In Canada?

So next year im hoping to be doing a year abroad in Canada for my studies,
However ive looked into work visas so i can pay rent and other such things, but all i can find are sites for people who are specialised professionals that fulfil a niche profession, and you need to have your employer on board before you apply.
What Im wondering is, can i get a Visa that allows me to go over to do my studies, but then apply for a normal job(Retail, restaurants etc) while im there, just so i don’t have to get into a stupid amount of debt and always have to worry about money
Any information on this from anyone who has done this thing before would be really appreciated.
Thanks

So If A College Has Intership Connections To Some Companies, Generally, Where Are Those Locations?

I mean generally will these positions at affiliated companies be at their local offices? I mean internships not co-ops.( I am little concerned about the transportation around campus.)

Ramadan- Praying Salah Secretly?

Because of my view of Islam my parents think i’m becoming an extremist because I think pictures, tv ,music, certain soap is haram etc. while they’re more lenient and think many rulings were of “zaman moayan” ie. almost everything is halal as long as you have good intention/almost everything has an excuse. I love them but things are becoming difficult for me.
Okay so basically My parents won’t let me pray sunna salahs and qada salahs (from years past) (because they believe the amount of time I spend praying daily is making me fall behind in school/make me anti-social/) and I have about a week of qada (of sunnah and qada) salah to make up. I’ve been thinking of methods to make them up without my parents knowing, for instance I pray during lunch time, but I can normally only make up one salah, maybe two and when my parents are out etc. I’ve been trying to pray in bed, but sometimes I accidentily sleep + sometimes I don’t have wadu and if I make wadu after isha my parents get suspicious. I have also been setting my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night, but my mother sometimes unplugs my alarm clock when I’m not looking. Is it okay to do “secret salah” in whatever means possible? like sitting in the car, pretending to do homework/reading a book, while in stores and super markets pretending to be in “another section” make small motions with my body and then cut salah whenever my parents talk to me? my father has ” ‘adaytny dag” several times, and one time even got out a “sikeen” when he was really mad but my mom convinced him to put it away. Is it okay for me to do it faster than usual? Read surat Al-fatiha without pausing? Isn’t it wajb? Any exceptions because of circumstances?
ps. I also want to make qada for some years I didn’t fast but after fasting 5 days in a row my parents physically force me to eat. Is my fast valid if I have intention to fast but my circumstances prevent me? So far for the past 2/3 weeks or so I have been fasting every single day and don’t eat unless my parents force me to eat
p.p.s I realise that I am making qada for sunnah, but that’s a personal decision, even if I don’t have to I want to.

How Messed Up Is This Situation And How Wrong Am I?

Ok, so this is going to be a long story so if you don’t like to read just move along and let someone else answer. Here’s the situation. My girlfriend and I have been living together for about 2 years. When we first got together, she was unemployed and doing college courses online. Meanwhile I’m working at a job I really don’t like but it pays the bills and I know I can always find something better later. Along with the her and I thing, her son (who is 29) was going to college for criminal justice with the dream of becoming a cop. He decides after graduating that he is no longer interested in law enforcement and decides to try to start a fudge company. I know what your thinking and yes that is a weird transition. Anyway, around the time my gf was close to finishing her college courses and getting her bachelors in business something or other, she decides to partner with her son and formed a corporation in the name of the fudge company, with the whole thing being funded from withdrawals from her 401k at extremely high penalties. A couple of months after forming the corporation and way before they had sales or revenue, they both approached me and asked me to come to work for them. I stalled as long as I could and in February I put my notice in with my employer and stared working for them at a substantial pay decrease. I believed in them and their dream enough to take that hit thinking that as things took off I could eventually recover some of the income loss. So, within a week or so of going to work for them, I realized they were not as organized and on top of things as it appeared from the outside. They argued constantly to the point where I was really rethinking my decision to work for them. I had been in contact with my former co-workers and found out that the one of the guys had crashed the truck I had been driving thus eliminating my escape back to that job. I continued to work for my gf and her son, doing whatever I could to improve things and increase sales. In the background I was working on my resume and watching for job openings because I was almost certain this venture was going to blow up in our faces. My gf knew the password to my pc because we really didn’t keep secrets from each other. She found out I was looking. I explained that I was nervous and sales were too low to keep us all going and felt I needed to explore other options. She agreed and asked if I would still help out when I had time. Of course I would. A couple of days after this conversation, she came into my office and with tears in her eyes, told me that with the low sales, she could no longer afford to keep me employed. I figured as much so I just continued my job search. Then the day after I was let go, she went on a major buying spree. She was spending a couple thousand here and a thousand there and on and on buying items that were not really needed until they actually had sales coming in. It was like she was rubbing my face in it. My house was full of stuff for her company. It almost looked like the hoarder stories you see on TLC. No room to walk and it was embarrassing to have company stop by and see stuff piled everywhere. I was annoyed and made no secret about that but then, I found out that the reason she let me go was not because her 401k dried up and there was no more money but because she was angry because I was looking for a different job. I slipped into a depressive state for a couple weeks because of the week job market. We became distant and cold towards each other. After a month with no income, my old boss had a new opening and agreed to take me back. Everything finally came to a head last weekend and I broke up with her and asked her to find a different place to live. No rush but I could not continue to be in a relationship with these hurt feelings and everything else. So, on to my question/s. How messed up is this situation? How wrong am I for feeling hurt and betrayed and breaking up with her?
