Well, I will be able to legally work at certain places come January. I don't care about pay. What are some good, easy jobs that would accept me (considering I've only worked hours for pay once, and it was for a seasonal job)?

Local businesses are your best chance of getting hired imo.
Restaurant kitchens normally dont mind using young teens...but the pay is terrible and they sometimes try to short you on tips.

Just my experience btw.

Er.. Legally? We can work at 14 in Canada I was told? And try Sobeys if there's one near you. Im working in the Deli at a local one. Other than that, McDicks, A&W, Timmies.. Try any of those.

Here (in BC, at least) you have to have written parental consent or some bullshit like that.

We have to be 21, and we must get out and come back with a working visa, provided that the supporter is willing to support your visa and handles all your legal and official paper work and etc. You must pass the qualifications and must have referrals, and a C.V just to work as a sanitizing staff or a garbage collector - and your salary is 40(120$) K.d per month. Shits are hard here, specially on expats. You have to steal, beg and eat bribes to live here.

I might move there when I finish my schooling here. I bet it is full of Brownies, so it will not be hard to integrate, now, won't it?

Working in charities and helping in community clubs but if u want pay start out in a shop or maybe a resteraunt if Ur up for that sort of thing. All these show u want to work that you can work and are able to interact with others and work in a group brilliant for helping you get better jobs when it comes to Ur cv in the future.

Fast food is probably your best bet.

Cashier jobs/waiting around here insist you have past references.
That includes walmart. Don't even try there unless they're a)desperate or b)you can put someone non-family and non-school as a reference for them.

My first job was janitorial. Not to bad, if you can find a place that will hire you.
