Hello all,
Is it good option to move Canada on student visa if I'm 25 years old single, and making 12K/Month with a degree of Master's(MCA) in India?
or permanent residency after 1-2 years of experience is better option?

You are likely going to have much better lifestyle in India and probably more job opportunities.
I don't think so because I'm already 25 and earning only 12K/Month.

It will take more than 3-4 years to reach 40-50K/Month and Some of my friends told me that they are earning 40K after all the expenses in Canada on student visa.

Actually don't believe the are even making 40K/year if they are full-time students. If you are making 150K/year you will likely make less in Canada, at least initially, but we have a very high tax rate plus high cost of living.

If you want to study get your self qualified and then start making money then yes it is a good option but if you want to make money while studying then you stay put because cost of living in any province in Canada is quite high. You will not be able to meet your monthly expenses let alone the cost of your program. International student are allowed to work 20 hours per week during the study semester and 40 hours per week during scheduled break. Assuming you land a job as soon as you land and begin your program you may earn somewhere around CAD 900-1000 per month. Your expense towards rent groceries transportation will be around $850-900. I am in BC so all these estimate are based on BC cost of living. Hope this help put things in the right perspective.

Not sure that Canadian population will increase dramatically. You are earning a very good salary in India. I would look into how much you will likely earn if you move to Canada and then factor in taxes. Then look at cost of living. If you are currently making 150K/yr I'm not sure moving to Canada would make sense. Salaries in Canada are not super high.

If you're making INR 12 k/month that's equivalent to 230 cad approximately and as per Indian standards that's less than minimum wage in an unskilled job.

Lot of opportunities in Canada in IT field. Get into a good Uni and after that you will make decent money here

You need to put currencies. Since this a Canadian forum I assumed you were speaking about $12K/month in Canadian dollars. If it is INR yes you will ,make more money in Canada.

I had a job in Scotland that was approx 25k pounds (approx 42k cad). I done a course called computer systems and networking for 2 years. After it I was lucky and got a job. Now i am earning 68k cad (40k pounds). So I earn more here than I could earn in the UK.

To be fair you did a course before your income increased. There are lots of opportunities if you did a masters in computing

If you have the financial means to support your self for at least a year without relying on any income from Canadian jobs (one years fees + GIC +living expenses) and do well academically then in my opinion you stand a good chance to make a decent living in Canada. You have to plan accordingly by choosing a right program one that gives you at least 2 years of PGWP then work towards your PR and things will.fall into place. Standard of living is highly subjective some may be happy earning $50k per year others may not be happy even after earning $100k. But the quality of life will be much better in Canada anyway that's for sure. Again this is my opinion people are free to disagree.
