Canada, indeed, is a good destination for international students.However, I'm not sure of Switzerland.The last time I checked, post graduation work permit lasts only for less than a year, after which students have to leave the country if they can't secure a job that fits their profile.
Student Permit Applicants from USA( F1, OPT, H1-B), Let's Meet Here
- Thread starter ABmercy&Gr8s
- Start date
Please, let's all order for GCMS notes if we have not done that already.Despite the received AIP, it's also good to get the notes while waiting for the final approval.I have done mine already; it should be ready in two weeks.I will share with the house the information therein.
Another good point that makes Canada a better destination is the fact that the spouse of an international student can work while the student is studying.Now, having worked for one year in an NOC O, A or B for one year, the spouse can apply for the CEC expess entry stream.What that means is that the student can even become a permanent resident, through the spouse, while still studying.In USA, it's not possible.
The question is of what use are the available jobs in the USA when international students are grossly discriminated against based on their visa status.Even, getting an OPT job is fast becoming a problem dueto visa status.Personally, I have been told several times that my competence is not in question but they want employees who will be with them for a long time, and they don't want to pass through the hassles of filling for H1-B visa.I have loads of friends with similar experience.
Hey Everyone,
I am on F1, applied on 22 July and received AIP on 19 Aug. I was wondering if anyone of you are leaving your college in US and then joining institutes in Canada. It seems that anyone who leaves his college in middle needs to leave US within 14 days. Is there any way to extend it till Canadian visa arrives

Only people who struggle under OPT know how good Canada is
I don't see how CEC is better than FSW program. You may get a few points extra for that 1 year Canadian work experience, but that's it. If your spouse is so close to the cutoff that those few points might make the difference then it's quite a risk you are taking. Much better for your spouse to aim for provincial nomination with a job offer imho.
Nonsense. Anyone who has visited and fallen in love with Canada, not because it provides better economics than a sxxxhole country with a despotic leadership, knows how good Canada is. There is a difference between those who want to make Canada their new home and who would defend their new home with their own life if need be, and some economic migrants who jump ship each time someone else offers a dime more. Imho Canada immigrates way too many people from 2 countries and way too few from many others with a population and culture where a handshake is a deal and the spoken word a promise. Just my 2 cents.
I wouldn't know if you understand the major differences between the FSW and the CEC.Anyway, with the CEC, ones spouse does not need to provide any POF. That is one of the areas CEC is preferred for people who don't have the POF for a large family size( up to five in my case).
