Dear All,
I heard that "software engineers" cannot apply for a Canadian PR since they are not in the list of high demand occupations in 2012 and 2013 as well. Does that also apply to international students in Canada pursuing their masters in computer science? Are they compelled either to be on a work permit only or come back home?
Did you mean a direct PR, or PR under PNP program after completion of studies? If it's for direct PR, you are in the wrong forum, you should better go to
