What is your background?
18 months course consists of 12 months academics and 6 months of internship (which you will have to find on your own), which will enable you to get 3 years stayback.
Part time jobs are there but not plenty.
MGM as a course has no recognition whatsoever. People who got jobs after completing this course, it's because of their previous experience. Also, many employers in different provinces are not aware of RRU, nor is it a brand. So, you will be limited to work only in Victoria and nearby. Also, these employers know well that students use this course as a mean to enter Canada and obtain pr later, so even they will not hire you unless you have good skills and prior experience.
This is the harsh truth. If you wanted some good things like this course has a lot of value, it will help you gain employment quickly then you might be in for a heartbreak. Anyone telling you things opposite to what is mentioned above is either a representative or an agent who get good amount of $$$$ for referring students to their institute.
Do proper research before spending your hard earned money. All the best!

Is it very difficult to get a internship and job after doing this course? My husband is planning for this course and have 10 years of experience in marketing with good automobile companies in india.
We are mainly looking for PR and would be glad even if he gets a job in MArketing itself after doing the course .
Does this course have no value at all?
We would like to settle in victoria if this course fetches a decent job .
I work in IT as a developer , do you have any idea about jobs in IT in victoria?
If you think that this degree will fetch you any job, then you will be in for a disappointment.
This is not India, where people complete their MBA's and engineering and get placed. You need to have contacts who can refer you to companies. Also, not many recruiters know about RRU. Most of the alumni who secured a job, got so because of their past experience. This degree didn't help them in securing it. You will have to find the internship (which is a part of the course) and job yourself. If you are not able to get it, then you lose the chance of PR. There are many reviews about RRU on this forum. Please read them thoroughly. One person even mentioned that they extort by failing students on purpose. It is your hard earned money afterall, so your choice. But, do proper research before landing in Canada.
Can you put some light on IT jobs in victoria?
Can you share any such links where such comments are posted? I have heard canada west is not good but not RRU. That will be really helpful .
Can i not apply in BC pnp before waiting for my husband s internship on my IT noc tech pilot?
My bachelor's with 59% and ielts with 6.5, no less than 6.
4 years of work ex in consulting industry
After lots of research I feel I should opt for pgdm course from good college.
Any suggestions?
Really appreciate your time and efforts.
I am still reading and trying to evaluate the best I can.
Thanks a lot.
Isnt univ has more value than college?
And do colleges accept gap in studies? With <60%?
My husband also got <60% but ielts score is 7.5 no less than 7 .. he got visa already .
I am in IT so thinking of trying BC pnp tech pilot program ... if you have idea about it , kindly reply . Thanks
How did you get a consulting job with a top 4 with those marks (no offense)? Maybe you attended a very prestigious program. You will have to find a pgdm that will lead to career progression. Finding a course is not always clear if you currently working in a lucrative and good position.
Good universities are. Good program in a good College is better than a bad university.
Ur right. But good universities dont accept you at <60% and without gmat /gre.
I still believe university will be a better choice if looking for PR , yes ofcourse its little difficult to find job from a b grade univ , but bttr chances would it be to get pgwp than college, but especially when you dont have money problm.
We are more looking for IT related guidance , but may be its wrong post to ask for . Thanks for your suggestions
