Nobel

Hi, I'm a second year Masters student in Toronto. I'm holding a NSERC PGS-M award for my second year of Masters, however, I do not receive any sort of money from anywhere else. This year for my study loan I received only a lump sum amount since I mentioned that I will be receiving NSERC. Now the problem is with high tuition fee, I am really struggling to survive with my wife. My wife is doing a temporary part time job to cover some expenses, but it has been really hard for us. In this situation, I was planning to do a part time job, however, one of my friends told me that while holding the NSERC award, I cannot do off campus job. Can anyone please confirm this? I would be really grateful.
