You can only do one; work or study.





If you decide to study, you will need to apply to a university in the United States and once you are accepted, they will issue you with an I-20 and with the I-20, you then pay the SEVIS fee ($100).





Since you are Canadian you will not require a visa, you take the I-20, along with proof of your citizenship and financial documentation which shows you can afford both tuition and living expenses.





As an international student, you are permitted to work 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time during holidays, but all employment must be done on-campus. Off-campus employment is not permitted.





If you decide to work, you will need to possess a Bachelor's Degree or equivalent to be eligible to work in the U.S. and then you would need to find an employer to sponsor and petition you for a visa to enable to you work.
