I don't know why people are bringing up the idea of students spending money in Canada as the major selling point for people with Canadian educational credentials. The reality of the various industries in Canada is that they value Canadian education and experience over any other. This is also regardless if the foreign credentials were approved by WES or similar agencies.
Most Canadian educational program have a work component infused in it. Therefore graduates from Canadian universities tend to graduate with at least 1 year of Canadian work experience. In my opinion, these individuals are valued due to the skills they have, not by how much money they spent so far in Canada. They tend to easily integrate with Canadian culture, work environment and people in general.
As I had mentioned before, I currently spend almost double per year as a worker than I did as a student, tuition included.

This is the stupidest thing I have read on this forum in a while. Most of the international students on PGWP I know were high school grads when they came to Canada and completed a 3-year diploma or a degree. It is utterly foolish on your part to think that most of the students here are enrolled in a masters program.fatani said:
And most of us hard working former international students are working in a job directly related to our study, while other FSWs come to this forum and complaining why they cannot find jobs and have to work in minimum-wage jobs.moelaghil said:
Co-op experience is extremely important in some occupations.aircanada said:
Most of the times, it's not. In some universities, you can choose to not participate in co-op.Elrud said:
Even if you choose too, you still need to send your resumes out and go to interviews like a real job, not everyone can find a co-op position.
True, it is tough especially where these are occupations preferred by Canadians, normally prestigious and preferred NOC A as I said like lawyers, language, history, journalism, etc... and there is shortage of articling/placement positionsAlexios07 said:

Honestly, how come you did not meet the cut-off as under the present Express Entry system, Canadian work experience is worth much more plus your English test score, that should be so easy as you are English nativekryt0n said:
