LokiJr01 said:I've posted somewhere in the forums before that International Students should have a different visa route from the standard FSW. Reason for this is because you can't accurately compare a foreign skilled worker from an international student.
If CIC will be smart about it, they should form a different bridging visa for international students - with their own set of requirements and their own set of quotas. That ensures that they get the best of the international students for Canada. Screening should be based on language proficiency, age, previous work experience, grades of the student, and the relevance of the course finished to the economy....
That's kind of like the idea BCPNP has. You are placed in their own student EE pool with points based on your criteria. They only send out invites to the top scorers. Your idea is good, I think the level and length of the course should be considered as well (bachelors, masters, PhD etc), but the relevance of the course to the economy is spot on!
