Hi
Just curious, before making a final move of applying my student visa, I want to know is it worth spending money and time on student visa?
Will I be able to get PR status after studying, working etc?
How hard it is to get PR?
Thanks in advance!

Studying and working only gives you additional CRS points for your EE application. They do not guarantee PR status.

I know so many people who didn't make it but also some smart people who made it... it all depends on person

So it's 50/50
Well I have been an international student in Australia for more than 6 years and it's 20/80.
Its highly difficult to get PR here.
I'm sure Canada must be easier than here!

Really dependent on your education and work history, whether you were able to graduate and the job market. The primary way international students secure PR is to secure a skilled/semi-skilled job and work for a year after they graduate. That is one of the reasons why a 1 year program is not suggested because you only qualify for a 1 year PGWP. It is easier to get PR as an international student versus Australia,

I understand and it makes sense to study for two full years. Secondly, in Australia getting a skilled job is not easy, especially when you're in far regional area and have work limitations on your visa. From past 3-4 years Australia has tightened the rules alot and very picky when it comes to issuing nominations. I caught up in new rules unfortunately!
Hope it's not the same way in Canada..
