hello seniors,

Ive noted my Educational stats along with Work Ex. Can anyone stuyding in canada or having any ideas would guide me, as I'm really confused.

Graduate in Commerce - 53.42%
2yrs exp - Accounts
1yr exp - Banking domain.

Now I'm confused as in doing a PG diploma 1 yr or 2 yr from a College or do a Masters from a University.
I really wish to have quality education as some dollars extra would not be a problem if the education is better.

Does anyone know some good university for finance or accounts

OR

If college is good enough in terms of Employment preference then, a good college.

Also accommodation and good part time availability of jobs.

Any better city where there are good employment prospects

Please advice seniors and forum members.

Anyone going out for May14 or Sept14 intake please mail me on williamgonsalves007@yahoo.in or william.s.gonsalves17@gmail.com

Master's degree coz that really gives you more options to stay in Canada...3 yrs of PGWP..some provinces give nomination for PR based on your master's degree and no job offer/experience is required...Diploma is a weaker option as it will only give you 1 year of PGWP and after that you will have to go through LMO process and FSW point system for residency here...

Also, you can complete your master's degree in 1-1.5 yr and still get 3 yrs of PGWP by taking extra credit (work load)...Look for province nomination streams for you to select which province you must go for your education...AND people regard Master's people here.....Good Job...extra money..unlike diploma..where in you will face competition...

It totally depends whether you can get an admission in Master's program - If yes! Then go for it :)

Diploma - I wouldn't prefer.

William, I have just started a thread related to this. I'm also on the lookout for a decent University that would accept me with a 3-year degree. If you come across any such university, please can you share its details with me? Thanks and wish you good luck!

To get 3 year pgwp u have to pursue a course of 2 year or more duration.

You will not be eligible for 3 year work permit if u do two 1 year pg diploma or certificate.

If u are doing a 1 year diploma the you have to pursue master degree of 1 year or more year to be eligible for 3 yr wrk permit.
