Need for work permit to do part time job in Canada with studies

[jamsheedp]

I am planning to go to Canada for Masters. Is it compulsory to have work permit to do part time job there?

You may work on campus at the institution where you study without a work permit, if you are a full-time student at :-a public post- secondary institution, such as a college or university, or a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees and you have a valid study permit.

you need a work permit in order to work in some company or organization. but you can work without a work permit, within the premises of your college campus.
