Hello everybody, I have an interesting yet generic question. How and why is it that Punjabis are synonymous to Canada, and the opposite? How do so many Punjabis manage to immigrate - do they all use their roots to get extra points? In which category, do they immigrate the most? Regards

Thanks Zulfkal - very insightful. As I have mentioned multiple times over by now, the sole reason why I am so jittery is because of my kid vis-a-vis the risks involved. Had this been 4-5 years back, of course I would not have had the need to start this topic. Just gone ahead straight and...

Ok, so I understand if I do my MBA (online/offline/distance, I will secure full 12 points. 2 more questions: 1. What if its a diploma course - PGDM or PGDBA or any others? 2. What if its for just 1 year (Executive MBA), or two years? Regards,

Thanks Nevillek - But why 2 points only? Why not full 6 points in my case - total 12? http://www.canadavisa.com/quebec-immigration-education.html Also, what about 1 year Executive MBA? Do they make any distinction between 1 year, 2 years, 3 years MBA? Regards,

Hello all, Do people get extra points if they do Masters degree courses through distance learning/online? Say an MBA or PGDBA or PGDM course from Symbiosis, IMT or SMU India? I am at 6 points because of my B.Sc 2001, if yes, do I get 12 then? Regards,

Guess your question is for Angel Eye.

I am yet to apply, have 9 years of work experience.

Marvik2011 - can you also add to the discussion I am having with Zulfkal. Why do people from developed nations, like EU immigrate to Canada? And thanks for bringing the post back on track. Regards,

I am a Market Researcher/Project Manager, 4163 NOC I guess with 9 years of overall experience in people & project Management, in India. The numbers were based on some research I did, some assumptions. Of course, the leisure part would come a year or so down the line when I take my family along...

Thanks for the post Zulfkal - helpful additions. I will check the Stat Can website for the immigrant details you mentioned, not sure why the EU immigrants pursue Canada PR for. They have the same (if not better) lifestyle, and does not face problems that we from developing countries face...

The thread is taking a different turn for sure, please don't get personal. Am sure each one of us have our own priorities and preferences and have done lots of research to come to a conclusion that we need to Immigrate. What I have got so far is, 1. Indians and Pakistans are amongst the most...

Thanks Angel eye: If I compare my points with yours, here's where I stand - I am in India: level of schooling: 6 vs 10 out of 12 (as I have a Bachelors in Science, 2001) Area of training: 0 vs 0 out of 16 work experience: 8 vs. 4 out of 8 (i have 9 years of expereince) Age: 16 vs. 16/16 french...

So what I get so far is, you do not have any (or too much) racial discrimation there. For big houses and leading a good life, you need to be earning good. That brings another point: What salary in CAD yearly is considered to be "good" - something which will get you basic necessities and some...

Zulfkal, will look forward to your post. Anyone else? As I mentioned, I am 31, and am very well settled in India. Me and my wife combined earn more than a lac Indian rupees per month. Now, I just wanted to know your thoughts (read: advice & guidance) if it would really make sense for us to...

Congrats and thanks, Angel Eye. You may have done it earlier, but can you again share your points table (how many points under which) with us? Regards,

I would say its a lull before the storm of applications getting accepted...!

This is a good debate we are having, folks ... I and hundreds of us who are reading this are aspiring applicants, and it helps to know the reality. Most important point around JOBs. What I have heard is, you DO NOT get jobs as per your qualifications and experience, as for some strange reason...

Hi Vishal, What is the status of your application? Do you really get job offers from employers in Canada when you have not yet landed? Regards,

Hi everyone, This can be interesting. Which nationalities do we applicants and aspiring applicants belong to? And why? I have been following various forums for the last couple of months, and this is what I think it is. In order - please confirm or contradict: 1. Pakistan - because of...

Re: Market Researchers - how to immigrate to Canada Thanks Ankit, our job duties do not quite match many there - maybe yes/maybe no. Look forward to insights/advice from others as well. Can we fit somehow into 1122, or is straightforward 4163? Makes sense to wait for FSW 2012, or rather apply...
