Hi,
I'm NOT against PG certificate courses (especially business...where it's implied). I just tell the reality... as to University Master's courses are usually better option. if you read my previous posts carefully, I always advice to try for Master's, those who are eligible to get admissions.. and colleges are usually very good for trade courses and other practical oriented UG diplomas (not to mention..most students are already graduates/Post graduates from countries like India, where applying to Master degree courses in their area of study, increases the visa chances). Most PG certificate courses offered by Ontario based colleges are full of International students.. looking for a quick way to enter Canada, those who are usually not eligible to get admissions to Masters or don't want to spend a lot in Universities and are often encouraged by educational agents to go into these colleges. rarely a Canadian gets admission into these PG college business certificate courses.Saying this.. it doesn't mean 1 cannot get success after doing PG certificate level college courses, as there have been instances where students pass out and do get a skilled job. At the same time not ALL Master degrees in universities are good. So it all relative... depends on the individual student on how he/she fares.
Getting PR is not totally linked or necessarily connected to getting a skilled job and/or a good career, especially in today's scenario when 1 can rush to Sask./Manitoba..get ANY full time job..and then after meeting some conditions, get PR. But, if one has a skilled job offer... it's always better...as no matter what.. even if the Sask/Manitoba rules change... skilled immigrants will always be welcomed... not to mention Sask, Ontario and Quebec (with French) offer direct nominations to Master degree holders... also.. skilled jobs can be bagged... one can get an excellent skilled job, not necessarily after university.. but after doing college trade courses and/or college practical diplomas...
As I said..getting a full time job.. depends totally on the individual. However, better qualifications, passing out from a better educational institute, doing a course in demand, getting Canadian work ex, volunteering, networking etc. dramatically increases your chance of getting a desired full time job..
Finally... I'm no expert... and there is no compulsion to strictly go by and believe what I say... After-all I always put a disclaimer that it's my personal opinion... at the end of my posts. You can go there for yourselves...and check out the actuall scenario.
Hope it's clear.
