Hello,
I am in international student studying is the US on an F-1 Student Visa. While applying for the Canadian visit visa it asked "Do you have a job in the country where you currently live?" Does being a student count as a job? I don't have any place where I get paid from, but should I select yes or no as I am unsure if being a student is considered a job or not.

No, being a student is not a job. If you work while on CPT or OPT, and get paid, that would constitute a job.

Going to class, while tedious, is not a job.
