Hey Bro, After study i am eligible for work permit and PR?
Hi,
Perfect PG college course in HR, matching your background.
You may search for other programmes too.
After getting LOA (letter of acceptance/ admission) from GBC, you must apply for Canadian study permit under
SPP category (assuming you are applying for first time and since GBC is participating college under SPP).
To know more about General/generic route, see the official checklist (acco. to which you have to prepare your application):

To know more about general Canadian study permit see:

After studies... you can stay back in Canada- temporarily (by applying for PGWP-post grad work permit) or permanently (by applying for PGWP, working on PGWP, meeting eligibility criteria and then applying for 1 of various student immigration routes).
Then, once you get visa... and start studying... you can immediately start working ON-CAMPUS(provided you bag a job) or OFF campus (after 6 months of actual studies in Canada) by applying for an OFF CAMPUS WORK PERMIT.

Moreover, since this PG HR course at GBC has a co-op(internship) term attached to it, you will also work full time in internship(co-op) by applying for a co-op work permit.

If you study a min. 2 academic years/ 4 terms/atleast 16 months of actual study, then you will be eligible for a 3 years PGWP- Post Grad Work Permit (max possible, and highly reccomended for those aiming for immigration). If you do any recognized course less than 2 acd./4 terms duration, you will be eligible for study permit equivalent to the duration of study. In case of this particular HR PG certificate at GBC, you will be eligble for 1 year PGWP.

Once you get PGWP, you have many options to stay back in Canada permanently, by applying to one of various student immigration programmes. remember MOST student immigration programmes, requires graduates to find a full time skilled job (NOC O,A, or B) which may or may not be in one's field and you may be required to work anywhere between 0-12 months (all depending upon different immigration programmes you choose to apply under).
NOC O,A and B level jobs are classified as skilled jobs.. while NOC C as semi-skilled jobs and finally NOC D as unskilled jobs.
To get more idea, see the official matrix:
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/pdf/Matrix.pdf
There are various student immigration programmes which includes Federal CEC (for students of all provinces outside Quebec) to other student provincial nominee programmes (PNPs) offered by various other individual provinces, In these cases, if you are eligible, students 1st apply for provincial nomination, and once they get nomination from the province, next stage is to apply for the PR with the federal govt. After passing out of GBC, you will either have to apply for PR under Fedral CEC, Ontario PNP or move to other province and apply for PR under their respective provincial nomination programme.
To know more about various student immigration programmes, read particularly the "
MARCH 2013 update" post on this thread near bottom:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/various-immigration-programmes-for-international-students-in-canada-t100908.45.html
(Here all official websites of various immigration programmes as well as the gist of each programme is mentioned.)
Keep in mind, that no immigration programmes are permanent, and it will definitely change to some or larger degree, by the time you graduate. For example, just recently province of Nova Scotia stopped it's international graduate PNP.
Hope it helps
Best of Luck
