Hello there,
i'm now 26.5 years old and approaching 27.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy (Skill: A) and 5 years of experience (4 of which is pharmacy-related) and the other as a medical sales rep. but i HATE Pharmacy so much and i am multi-talented as a person (i used to rap and have a distinctive voice, i have a talent with graphic designing and drawing, and i have an interest in diet-fitness and have a youtube channel for weightloss in arabic).

I've read so much about express entry and all the other options, and i actually could be having a great chance to migrate if i just focus on IELTS (and btw i'm fluent with a native-like american accent) and i'm single too.
but i have many Qs in mind that i need to find an answer for ...

i read that Career-Change is so common in canada esp. with new immigrants, i know it's not easy to find a job but i read that many people go there and start a diploma in something they love (which is Diet-Fitness/Graphics & Art for me) and take it from there ...


NOW my Questions are ...
(1) is it true that for new immigrants who are still yet to get a job there are low-cost or even free courses and diplomas in some states that could help someone with their take-off till they get on their feet and get a job relevant to their studied diploma/course ?

(2) since i hate pharmacy, i don't want to Re-Study to do the equivalency study which takes several years on average for most people and i'd rather do what i love cuz life is too short, things like Lab Analyst or what other jobs relevant to pharmacy that don't require Degree-Equivalency (PEBC and all these troubles ..) that i can take as a Pharmacist to begin with ?
 
(1) No - you will need to pay tuition to attend college just like anyone else.
(2) I can't answer your second question.
 
thanks alot for ur input.
one more thing regarding #1.
i guess when taking a course or a diploma it's possible to pay part of the fees initially as a downpayment and then the rest in installments right ?

Generally no - schools expect you to pay your complete fees for that semester before the start of classes. You would have to check with the school you wish to attend to find out their payment schedule.
