studying masters and open work visa

[Rexxar]

Hey guys

same as many people here I am trying to immigrate legally to Canada i found the study way can be tough but there is benefit of open work visa for one year if I studied one year program

my questions as follows :

1- if i complete study on my own funding and got open work visa for 1 year and got some Canadian experience while studying can i work in restaurants or coffee shops just for time being to ensure my visa or what is the procedures exactly ( I don't have any problem working any job if couldn't find a job in my field of study just temperay until i settle in i mean can those jobs keep me in canada after my open work visa finishes ? )

2- anybody went this way please share your experince with me thanks alot

I would recommend you try for at least a 2 year program. Then you would be eligible for a 3 year PGWP (open work permit).
1. An open work permit is exactly that. You can work anywhere
2. I done a 2 year program and got 3 year PGWP. Are you planning to immigrate or do you just want 'the canadian experience'?

If your aim is to immigrate to Canada, then once you complete your studies, you want to obtain at least one year of full time work experience in a NOC A, B or 0 occupation. Working in a restaurant or coffee shop won't get you there unless you are in a managerial role.

Also - if your aim is PR, recommend you take a program that's at least 2 years in length so that you qualify for a three year PGWP.

I would like to thank you for the clarifcations my problem is that I finished undergrate and my chance now is only with masters which also much cheaper choice for me and my family most of masters i searched were 1 years and if it is research it can be 2 years (not all the time ) correct me if im wrong ?

yes as i mentioned my actual goal is to get PR and settle there

It sounds like you really haven't spent any time researching Canada's immigration programs to understand the requirements and how people are selected. Suggest you dedicate time to that research if you are serious about immigrating to Canada - with a focus on the Express Entry program. If you don't have time or don't want to do this research yourself, then you should hire an immigration lawyer or consultant to assist you. You can find detailed information here:
