There's an absolutely massive difference between a 1 year college certificate and a 4 year university degree. Surely you must realize that?!?

I've only hired a few hundred people in Canada. So what do I know.

You do what you want. It's your life.

you said employers hire you on the basis of previous work experience and education, there is no difference between a 4 year and 1 year degree as in the end you will be qualified to work in the respective jobs you were being trained and educated for, your experience hiring a couple hundred people in one field in a nation of 40 million does not tell me anything, have a nice day

Let's be honest, no good employer will hire someone with ONLY 1-year certificate and no experience. I say so because I do HR. And what's the difference between 1 year and 4 year degree. Well a lot. 1-year cert and 4-year earn you different points when it comes to immigrate and apply for PR. But before you may even qualified to apply for PR, you need a good job (a NOC 0, A, B job), that's not what a 1-year cert can give you.

of course, but 1 year and 2 years account for the same points, what if this 1 year certificate can get me a NOC B job ? so you're saying employer wont hire me specifically because of no experience ? how is any new graduate wether canadian or not, supposed to get experience then ?

He's is saying that there is a big difference between a 1 year certificate and a 4 year degree. And if you have previous experience, employers may overlook your new Canadian 1 year certificate and consider your experiences/education. But you said you didn't have any (or ignreo whatever you did before)
You can ignore what people who hire in Canada said. (both that replied are actively involved in hiring)

there is no difference to the person hiring, if your superiors ask you to hire for a job that requires a 1 year degree then you are going to hire people with that 1 year degree, not look for someone with an unrelated 4 year degree, i dont buy a word that comes out your mouth, you guys are way too stupid to be trusted with hiring people, you're on some other agenda, get off my thread

i have no will to keep going in my current field of work and to get my degree and work experience recognized in canada i need to pass exams which are impossible to pass for me, so assume that i am a 18 year old high school graduate, what difference would it make wether it's a 1 year degree or 4 years ? since as you said it's all about previous experience and education, what if it's irrelevant to the job you're applying for ? you're not making very much sense

firstly set your goal. Is it PR or education? There are some choices that are good for PR but bad for your academic goals. For example: A 10 year experience software engineer doesnt need to do MS in Computer science. But the VOs view that as "logical academic progression".
A 1-year or 8-month course has no real value because it can rarely lead to a PR (These course are a scam for international students imho).

To be eligible for CEC PR you have to have 1-year work experience in Canada.
In a 1-year course: You get 1-year work permit, this means after finishing your course, you have to start your job on day 1 and be employed until the last day. You have to be "on the job" 100% of the time.

In a 2-year course: You get 3-year work permit. Which leaves lots of time for job hunting, job switching & lay offs (God forbid). You have to be "on the job" 34% of the time.
