Working as a Chemical Engineer on work permit in Canada

[sw6lee]

Hi guys, I'm currently studying chemical engineering in a reputable university in ontario, and I'm a visa student. I would like to eventually get a PR here via CEC and would love to live and work in Toronto. However, I'm worried that it would be much more difficult for me to get employed because I'll be working on a work permit, and I'm a foreigner. Employers tend to hire Canadian citizens and permanent residents first, then consider foreigners. Am I correct? Please advise. I would appreciate serious answers only.

Thanks.

Yes, you are correct. Companies will look investing money and time training an employee who may not be with them in 2 or 3 years, as they can't get an extension of their work permit.
