Would appreciate some answers before I apply to colleges. Thank you. :)

[sushmitapadhi]

Hey,
I am Sushmita from Pune, India. I am planning to do a pgdip in international business or finance from Canada. I have spoken to Edwise, but would like to get some good and valuable information from others as well, especially students already studying in Canada. I still have one more year to go before I start applying to different colleges and unis. The answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1. Is it easy to get a part time job once I start studying in a college. ( I am planning to study in Seneca as of now.)

2. If I do two one year pgdm will I still get a 3 year work permit?

3. What is a better option, staying on campus or off campus? (considering not just the rent but also electricity, food, internet, heating etc., in case of rented premises)

4. Is it easy to get a job after I do my pgdm?

5. Is the pgdm recognized anywhere else in the world apart form Canada?

I know these are lots of questions, but all the help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Regards,
Sushmita

Thank you so much.
Like I said, I plan on doing a pgdm in international business or finance. Any idea about the jobs in these fields?
Also, how will I find a rented house before I enter Canada?

Try http://www.kijiji.ca/

I suggest that you should book a hotel for 1 week and use this time to find a decent residence when you arrive in Canada.

The answer to 1 and 2 are wrong

1 - According to the new rule you will be eligible for off campus part time work from day one

2 - Also 2 consecutive one year program will give you a 3 year PGWP.

Double check that answer to #1 post the link cause I checked n it says be in school for at least 6 months preceding the date of your application.

2. It's the same thing 2 yr program program 2 consecutive 1 yr program still adds up to 2 yrs.

I suggest the person asking the questions call cic just to make sure.

By the way, many universities also have PG diploma programs.
