Hi All,
I have been looking through online forums to get an idea about the professional work scene in Canada and was very surprised to see some of the negative comments. I understand that the two main issues of concern are "lack of Canadian experience" and
"lack of accredited educational qualifications".
To give you some background, I am an Indian living in the US for the past 6 years. I have a masters degree in electrical engineering
from an Ivy League (Cornell University) and have more than 4 yrs of work experience working in some of the biggest banks in the US.
I am contemplating applying for PR in Canada primarily because of the uncertainly surrounding the Green Card process.
Now my questions are:
1) Do Canadian employers recognize degrees earned from the US or are those also not counted as 'Canadian education'?
2) Similarly does US work experience count towards the required Canadian experience?
Hoping people familiar to the Canadian employment scene can throw some light here.
Thanks a lot,
