If the current immigration rules will be the same 10 years from now, she should get at least a professional or graduate degree (so good grades so she can get scholarships), maybe in the IT field if that interests her; be fluent in English, and get at least 3-5 years of full time work experience, even in India, to be able to start the process before she turns 30. Earn enough money on her own.

If she marries, only marry someone with the same profile as above. Or marry a Canadian.

But rules and demands can change in 10 years.

Get a master’s degree by 19 years old and work full time for 3 years.

Or learn fluent French.

That’s not realistic for most people. Mid-to-late 20s is the most ideal and realistic.

You already said her parents’ funds are limited, so studying in Canada is out of the question. She would be able to migrate in her early 20s in that scenario.

Better advice yet, I suggest you, her parents, and her look at the Express Entry scoring and make the calculations.

thanks. how much funds will be needed if she wants to study in canada? I'll let her parents make decision. Also, how to choose which canadian university and what stream is best for PR?

According to an earlier post I saw from scylla, about CA$25,000.

Choosing a Canadian university is a loaded and personal decision.

If she and her family are really serious about her migrating, then they should do the research themselves or hire an immigration consultant.

No, that’s just for one degree.

Google or the yellow pages, or whatever you call a business directory there.

$25,000 is what she would need to show upfront. To complete both degrees, expect close to $150,000.

$150000 is lot of money for them for sure. so, seems like doing bachelors and masters in india from say Amity university in HR management will be good for her to immigrate to canada? so, she should try for more elite universities?

Would really encourage her to get into the IT field, automation, robotics, AI, etc. Would count on most Foreign degrees having little value in Canada. Experience working in a large multinational would be better. She may need to further her education when in Canada to have some Canadian education on her resume. You can do a masters or a PG diploma for 50-75K.

No. $25,000 for each year she studies in Canada. She will need to pay international student fees which are high and also have enough money for living expenses as well. So you're looking at around $150,000 for both the bachelors and masters.

Is anybody answering this question has Indian nationality? It could be different challenge immigrating from India than from say france. so, if somebody has more perspective on immigration planning from india to canada, it will be great!
