Pakistani students can now get Canadian study permits processed in 20 days!

[Syed1.]

There is no extension. 3 years and thats it. You need to get PR before 3 years gets expired.

Thanks for letting me know..... a friend of mine was on that permit and his PR was in process, but permit expired before he got PR and he got an extension for a couple years so thats why I thought.

This is why I am skeptical about going there

Yah jobs are tough phase right now. It's best to apply through the PR points system directly because they orient that w.r.t where there is demand in job sectors....and you don't have to waste lot of money in some college (paying international tuition fees which is pricey) and then be stuck trying to find a commensurate job afterwards.

Useless then. They should give international student post study work visa for at least two years to gain some experience and also to earn some money after investing in education

This system is there and they generally will give you it quite easily after graduating too. Problem is finding job and earning some good enough money. Basically you have to be in the right field where there is always good quality demand in economy (say STEM etc) from the onset. Its not worth doing typical college paper degree (biz/com etc) and hope to really gain some traction from that....because the job market there is saturated to the point of most is overflowing into no-degree-needed kind of jobs.

Another route is to focus on a trade apprentice ship, the tuition is low and its just cpl years program and you get a pretty good paying job at the end of it....but ppl have to be willing to put work in, be ok with blue-collar kind of work environment etc.....and also I am not sure if this falls under this study permit program....definitely a preference would be given to local Canadians first there I believe...and lot of trade-ppl immigrants just come through the points system anyway after learning their trade+experience in their original country.

That's true, but a lot of those same students also end up staying in Canada and getting jobs here. Some of their earnings may even go back to Pakistan as remittances (at least, I can tell you for sure a lot of my friends who came on student visas are sending some money back).

It depends on your field. I know for a fact that DevOps, CI/CD, software developers, etc, have good prospects in Canada and the US. Engineering is a hit-and-miss, but you're generally OK if you're in nuclear, semi-conductors, etc, but I hear civil's tough for some reason. Back in my day, business (esp. finance and accounting) was huge, but it isn't as promising as it was say 9-12 years back, you're better off moving into software development or engineering.

So the universities can milk more international students. It already squeezes very last penny out of local students and it pretty much sees international students as piggy banks.


None, work is low. If you want to work minimum wage for McDonald's or something then you can find a job otherwise nothing.

Does it make a difference if you do mba from top b school like rotman or desautels when looking for jobs?

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

MASSIVE difference..... one international student fees is equally to roughly four Canadian or permanent resident students. From UofT:

Here if home student pay £9,250per year then international student pay slightly more £12,500 per year. Still tuition fees in Cnada is not bad if you can easily find work in any skilled profession after finishing your study

I know some people who have spent so much money in UK for undergraduate and postgraduate degree and now cannot find any work placement and has to go back ..UK just want money from International student but they dont want them to work here at all

Yes true every country be it Canada or Australia will give you work easily in those fields where they have some shortage

My good friend went to Rotman, and he landed a great job in the end (at one of the largest banks here)....because he worked super hard and was tenacious (and also good people skills). But I also know stories where it didn't help.

It basically depends on the individual...you got to put in the quality effort when doing the MBA to add that catalyst to it. How best to make and use contacts, how to present things, and prioritise the broad inner workings (that will be taught in the MBA) of business most relevant to where you apply your time and focus etc. Where the rotman advantage comes is you will have a good rolodex formation (if you did things right during the process) and good branding for your resume to stand out....BUT you need to really work hard and work smart!

 

[Flight of falcon]

This is the point .... don’t show up trying to get degree in sociology or art....STEM is the way to go and a guaranteed job ...

 

[VCheng]

It is only in the crucible of fair competition does one find out where one stands. Cream always rises to the top in such a situation.

You can get PR after 3 years as well. You will get extra consideration for having a degree from Canada.

 

[Nilgiri]

Also key is to go for the internship/co-op program in STEM fields. It adds on one more year to degree, but its pure work experience for later that will help a lot....and you don't pay tuition fee during it (you just earn money from the job). But again the effort you put in (to really land a good co-op), is the result you get out.

What' mba? If you mean bachelor's of art in any subject, then not really.

 

[BringHarmony]

I once dated a girl who used to work in HR department of Shaw Communication. Once she was bored (or may be drunk enough ) and she told me about joys and perils of hiring freshly minted immigrants. The problem starts with their resume, their communication, their degrees, their work experience and even interviewing. Put it mildly, Canadian businesses have no way of knowing what to expect out of a guy or gal they hired if they were an immigrants. This why almost all the bigger businesses tend to be so "particular" about Canadian work-experience and professional schools.

Immigrants would have half the problems if they have Canadian work experience and/or degrees.

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

Of those graduating right now, I know people getting jobs in CI/CD/Cloud Automation and software development, those are the biggest/best catches right now. But yes, compared to 10 years ago, it's a lot tougher for people with business, accounting, finance, etc. degrees to get jobs.

I'm a current student and its extremely hard to find jobs when you want to support urself paying tuition and rent. Rent alone is like 1500-1200$ per month. Forget tuition fees lmao. Its dumb because the old people are taking all the jobs and its frustrating.

Master of business admin. Its a post-grad thing, quite good to do if its relevant to your field and your orient it well.

I think a lot of the entry-level B.Com/BBA jobs are automated and/or outsourced now, which is also a reason why landing a job with those degrees is tough (in addition to saturation).

STEM is a surefire bet, but obviously in some areas you'll need out of your comfort zone. I know someone who's studying nuclear related stuff, so they're basically tied to the Pickering/Ajax area, though they preferred working in downtown Toronto. Likewise, if you're in aerospace (Downsview), semiconductors (Montreal/Quebec), etc.

Folks could also look into health, nursing, and senior health, but seeing the level of patience and empathy around here, I'm not sure if I'd wish that on Canadian seniors Lol.

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

Seriously are you even serious??

We worked our asses off to get this opportunity for Pakistani students and you type shit without even knowing anything.

How about click on the link and see how this works . There are great opportunities and way towards permanent residency.....yes a lot of students while in school work off jobs so did I. But this is how it works.

Whos "We"?
Not knowing anything? Lmao muffin

No one lives there.... Toronto is the regional hub for software, data science, fintech and AI. Ottawa is called the silicon valley of the north. Montreal has a thriving aerospace industry with Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney, CAE, Rolce Royce, GE etc all having massive operations.


Obviously if they are studying non-technical fields they will have trouble finding a job.


The government has something called a "post graduation work visa" which is typically for 3 years and maybe you can get extension of 2 more years. You only need to work one year after graduating from Canadian university to get permanent residency.

Go find a decent job then, in one of those companies

Master of business admin. Its a post-grad thing, quite good to do if its relevant to your field and your orient it well.

So faculty of business? Then nope it doesnt matter

yes education is the next market...same with Australia...but at least there is work there.........


This is why I am skeptical about going there

They recently made easier visa for low paid jobs in agriculture and advertised it like agri experts can get easy visa


Indeed...there is alot of jobs in computing...big data especially!

Agri is the worst field to work in here, your better off cleaning toilets. Its recently has been filled with Mexican immigrants cause no one else wants those jobs, not even the Filipinos

Those international students drive around in brand new German and Italian cars so they are fine with that money. If Pakistani students come they well get trapped in a never ending cycle of dept and other fees.
