An advice to all Indians.just my view....

[rishi7860]

Hello all the people!!! Greetings..
Firstly I would like to say that I was also an aspiring student like you who wanted to go to Canada on a study permit.
I have done b.tech with 70% and Ielts score of overall 7 bands with no less than 6.5.
I came upon some interesting facts and wants to share them with you.These facts are mostly for a middle class because its the hard earned money which does matters a lot.

1.Its useless to study for a pgdm programme of 1 year as you will get only 1 year post graduation work permit and the time and chances for applying for pr is negligible only and if only your luck favours then you can.(High risk involved)

2.You can't earn your semester fees by working 20hr/week even if you work on cash(illegal) then also you cant earn because house rent(300$)+bus pass+other expense is roughly 500-600$.And thats for sure.

3.If you opt for a 2year programme i.e you have to get atleast 16 lacs of tution fees.There is no guarantee that you will get a skilled job.

4.Getting PR(permanent residency) is tough but not impossible so you will get PR.But what after that you will continue to work in restaurants,pizza shops,or in a factory for cash jobs.Please do search about this.

All I want to say is, it is the hard earned money of your parents so please invest it carefully.
These facts are not fake.I have searched a lot about these things from my friends and family members living in Canada itself.I would suggest if you can get a scholarship then only go for studying abroad.
Moreover I am not discouraging anyone.I am not saying that you won't succeed but It's just the thing which I want you people to atleast search upon.And PLZ. PLZ. dont go by the buttery words of any consultancy.Its their purpose, so as to earn money.

One more thing I would like to add IF you are going for studying then there can be some really harsh circumstances that you can face.Don't depend on any of your relative or friend.

Best Of luck to everyone here

I came to Canada as a student in 2009 did 2 years Business Management course from Humber. By god's grace I am permanent resident & working as HR & Payroll Manager.

So nothing is impossible, don't give up on your dreams.

P.S. It's hard to find skilled jobs in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver.. go to small cities or towns.

Completely true. I wish if i knew all these things before moving to Canada.
Problem with us people is that we don't work hard in our home countries and put double effort when we are abroad.

i m completely agree with your views that not to go for pg diploma for 2 years after graduation in India but it s still good to go for univ. after bachelor in India applied on your own basis do not go to any consultant ....but still i believe that rest of the things are depends upon your luck and hard work any body can get success ....but think twice before investing the money

@akapoor
Sir,you didn't get my point.Yes nothing is impossible,thats true.
In year 2009 1CAD=43 inr
You did 2 years program for approx 14800$*2=29600$ which is roughly around 1270000 inr.
Now in 2014 you will do the same course for 2 years for around 1658000 inr.
+
Rules are changed as per 1st June 2013.Kindly check it regarding study permit and pgwp at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-changes.asp.
All I want to say is to think thoroughly and do a good amount of research before spending this huge amount.
Rest, If you have a lots of money then just simply ignore this post.
Thank you

Job situation is generally not good in most countries.

The thing is getting part time jobs is Not easy. So many students coming in every year plus the immigrants , plus the job less residents , all looking for jobs. This makes it tough . This gives easy leeway to small business owners to exploit students and make them work at really less amount.

The minimum wage is around 10 $ / hr , but I know some people who get 5 - 6 $ / hr . This is because for every job there are 4 - 5 students who want that part time.
