Hi

My history....Com
Did my bachelors in london 3 years(Computer Engineering ) didnt get a job ....came to back to home country in sri lanka...

I am hoping to come to canada to do my Masters in Computer Science.(1 year course) ....Will I be able to get PR once I finish?? Would I be able to fall into any scheme without the work experience?Are u granted a temp work visa when u finish?.....Given that the fees are extremely high your advice on how to go about this would be greatly helpful.
Is there any other way for me to get PR with no experience?would the student route work?
i know nothing about the canadian system at this stage!!Thx

you need 1 year of work experience to get a PR through federal skilled worker program.
There is something called Canadian Experience Class Immigration (CEC). You should read the requirements for that.
I think if you get a job after you graduate, you can also apply for Provincial Nomination Program (PNP).

www.cic.gc.ca has more info on this.

I am not an expert at Canadian Immigration. The CIC website is a great (if not the greatest) resource for Canadian Immigration. Also see http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/common-questions-t13225.0.html

You would not qualify for CEC because you would need 2 year studies in Canada but with one year studies, you can apply for a post-grad work permit after you are done.  For a 1 year course, you can get a 1 year post-grad work permit afterwards.  This is an open work permit so you can use the time to find an employer who will help you apply for PR through PNP in the province where you live.
