You might or you might not. Completing school in Canada doesn't guarantee enough points and doesn't guarantee you will be selected for immigration.

And how do they decide if they give you additional points or not?
If you are a foreign graduate (degree/masters) with 3 years+ work experience you still won't get enough points.
Seems you either need family in Canada or come with your family to get enough points...
blivori said:
"They" don't decide whether you get additional points. You get the additional points - it's whether your total points are then enough to be selected. Again, they may or they may not be.
You don't get any points for having family in Canada.
The questions you're asking don't make sense and make it seem like you haven't actually researched Canada's immigration programs. I would recommend you spend more time reading up on the rules around the Federal Skilled Worker / Express Entry immigration program and also Canadian Experience Class to understand what it takes to qualify and then be selected.

Believe me I have looked into the procedures and I would only have about 475 points maximum even with more education (masters) and more work experience (3 years +).
I am just trying to find out how people with the same age,work experience and qualifications such as me managed to immigrate to Canada. Maybe with a Study Permit it is easier to get a work permit or maybe after you get a canadian degree you give extra points or something.
I have a Bsc(Hons) in internet applications development and 1.5 years experience. With 3 years I get a maximum of 478 (depending on how my qualifications are calculated). If my degree and diploma are counted separate I get 478, if not I get 453. So basically it is near to impossible to immigrate to canada without an LMIA or IEC (which is not available to my country).
So the only available options I guess would be luck (through EE), Quebec (also impossible - last draw I was 150,000 in queue) or get a job offer with LMIA (which is impossible for a foreigner in my line of work) or immigrate to another country such as Australia/New Zealand first.

I have looked into them today but not in detail. A Post-Graduate Work Permit allows you to find a job after you graduate for half the time of the course you attended. But even after you finish that, nothing is guaranteed.
blivori said:
No - PGWP are not issued for half of the time of the course your attended. I would suggest you research further.
Correct - absolutely nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks for the info.
My position is an Analyst Developer but last year I was switched to a different department working on something else (Sharepoint) which is not that development-related. My official position remained the same. Would it still count as the 'same job' since I have the same title?
Also, if I get promoted to to a higher level (Analyst Developer (Level 2)--> Software Developer (Level 3) would the work experience remain the same?
For example spend 2 years as Analyst Developer and then a year as a higher position. Would that be counted as 3 years or 2 years + 1 year when it comes to calculate your work experience points?

I would suggest that you study in a Quebec college. While you're studying improve your French skills and then apply for PR within Quebec. Quebec has the easiest route for PR for international students as long as they can speak French.
Is French mandatory to apply for PR in Quebec? or it is just needed to score extra points?

It is mandatory if you via the Quebec experience program (PEQ) route.
It is not if you go via the Quebec Skilled Worker program (QSW) route.
It is to be noted that processing times for PEQ are significantly lower than QSW processing times

No of course not. There are colleges like the LaSalle College in Quebec that offers program fully in English. But while you live in Quebec, you can take French classes(usually they're pretty cheap) and you can also practice French. You can apply under PEQ two years after your study. If I studied in Quebec, I wouldn't have to come back to India as my Post graduate work permit expired. Getting PR is getting hard in other provinces, so try for Quebec.
