PLEASE GUIDE ME ON COMING TO CANADA AS AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AFTER COMPLETION OF SCHOOLING IN INDIA

[bhangu9]

Hi all
I am a Non Med student in 11th(+1) in India. I am an Indian citizen. I plan to come to Canada as an international student in the year 2023. As many of you here have gone through what I'm about to, please guide me on whether I should go for a diploma (2 yrs), and get a work permit post completion of the diploma and apply for PR when my Work Permit is about to expire, and later, on getting the PR, complete my degree or go to a university and complete my degree in 1 go, and then, look for a job. My primary goal is to become a Canadian PR holder/citizen. My main concern is that if on completion of my degree, I'm unable to find a job, I'd be in a very tough situation and forced to return to my home country. And, I'm currently eyeing Engineering Degrees/Diplomas. Your help/experiences would be highly appreciated. Thx

Get a degree.

If you come to Canada for a diploma straight out of high school you may not have enough points to be selected for PR. Also, some PNP programs require you to have a degree to qualify. If you are worried about not finding a job after completing a degree, you should be even more worried about not finding a job after completing a diploma. Diplomas are lower levels of education than degrees and not as valuable to employers. Coming to Canada for a diploma right out of high school is a very risky plan.

Another option would be to complete a degree in your home country first and then come to Canada on a study permit to complete a post graduate diploma or Masters.
