Serious doubts - Planning to apply to Jan-2019 intake. Montreal

[Mutazek]

Hello everyone!

First, I'm from Colombia and I'm trying to apply for studies in Montreal (I have a friend there who will help me with part-time work and accomodation )

The thing is that I'm still undecided in which College apply to. I talked with the next ones:

Montreal College.
-Offer a Programmer Analyst: Web Developer - AEC Program (1 Year). Tuition of $13.000cad/year
Here I would like to do two AEC programs of 1 year each one, then apply for the PGWP. The other program would be Programmer Analyst: Java Programming.

Teccart Institute.
- Offer a DEC (1800hrs) program of Computer Support. Tuition is $21.500cad for 17 months of study.
With this one I can apply directly to the PEQ - Study Immigration program of Quebec, assuming that I can reach the required level of french (would need to learn from zero, only know a few basic words, not even phrases..).

CDI College.
- Offer an AEC - Programmer Analyst: Internet Solutions Developer. Tuition is $23.188cad for 20 months.
In this case the intention is to apply for a PGWP and the apply for the PEQ - Work.

In all three cases I can apply through Express Entry too, although I would need to leave Quebec and find a job offer in another province and work for at least 1 year (or that's what I had read). Also, I was thinking in the options of taking 1 year certificate at Montreal College and then go to Alberta or Ontario and take another 1 year certificate, then apply for the PGWP and the Express Entry program (Or AINP if I choose Alberta).

I would like to hear some opinions about all this "plan" that I have and some advice.

My other question is to know if I can travel to Canada while I wait for the response of my Student Visa application. Apply online in my country and then travel for tourism while I wait the response, then once I get it, go to USA and re-enter to get the Student Visa.

Finally, just to know. ¿Someone know a valid (DLI) institution that offer any certificate (AEC, DEC, DEP) in Culinary arts or similar? I would really like to have that option too (Not Teccart, they ask me to pay $23.800cad in the first month at once for their program of Culinary Arts....)

Thanks to all!!!

1.If your previous study is in culinary arts then it'll be fine else it will be a bit difficult to get visa
2.It's better to study in the province you would like to apply PNP from...
3.Choose a course based on what you want to become/work as when you complete the course

Thanks for your response!
1- I really don't have any previous study in culinary arts, is just that I'm really good in cooking so I would like to study that in Montreal. To be honest I do not have previous studies in programming/computer sciences neither.... I'm Paramedic.... I should pick a program related to health sciences then ?? I would like something in programming because I want to do a career in Game Development or similar (Kind of tired of being a Paramedic ) and those courses are like a small introduction to me to the programming skills.

2- Yes, I totally agree with that but since I have the opportunity to have free accomodation and meals, I would like to give it a try in Montreal. So, knowing that I'm prepared to take a bit longer in get my residence, but at least while I have my Study Permit and lather on my PGWP, I would be fine (I hope)

One of the primary requirements in the assessment for a study permit is that any course is relevant to your current qualifications and work experience plus will progress your career when you return to your home country. Whilst not totally impossible to take a course that changes direction completely for example health to IT often is one of main reasons to reject a study permit application.
