Hi!
I came as a fresher with no work experience to Toronto, Canada in September 2022 to study for a 1 year Masters in Management degree. I will be graduating in August 2023, and considering the current shape of the job market, I was thinking of doing a Post Graduate Diploma to qualify for a 3-year PGWP. I have some questions -

1) Is a PG diploma after a Masters degree a no-no?
2) Considering I don't have work experience back in India, I won't qualify for the FSW stream correct? + No points for Express Entry?
3) Is my decision overall a wise one? Considering all aspects of the current job market, economy, and the benefit of a 3-year PGWP?

1) You can certainly to it. Nothing wrong with that. I think you are wise to take another program to qualify for a 3 year PGWP.
2) Correct.
3) I think getting a 3 year PGWP is a wise choice.

There is a masters degree stream for Ontario. You probably will get a PR just like that even if you had no work permit.
