hey tiger...please provide ur inputs:
Hi,
i am looking for the jan, 2013 session for my Pg diploma course....i have visited to few consultants and they said the following facts:
1. whatever i do....pg diploma course of 2 yrs (16 months) or MBA ...i will get 3 years of work permit for sure and after a yr and half i can apply for PR which i will get easily. moreover, i don't have to do the relevant job and even without a job i can stay there for 3 complete years.
---- first of all, as i have read in other blogs people are generally talking about pg certificate...and i have been told pg diploma...please throw some light on the same.
---- secondly, another consultant says that after completion of my pg diploma course gets over i dont get a job ín next two yrs, then i can not stay for the 3rd year and come back to INDIA. is it true ?
---- thirdly...if i don't get a job from their NOC list or job classified under 0, A or B category, am i eligible and can apply for the PR ?
---- As they have mentioned public universities across the blog, so i was confused whether the statement from the consultant is applicable for PG diploma courses or not.
2. As i am from marketing background and have four yrs of marketing and advertising experience. majorly(3yrs) in advertising, which pg diploma course i should go for, keeping in mind the eligibility for PR ?
---- Consultant told me to go for coop pg diploma course as i will do 6 months paid internship for sure under this programme which will help me in getting job further after the completion of the course. my query is if i don't get the opportunity to do the training for those six months course then will i have to come back and no further extension of 3 yrs will be given to me ? and how easy/ difficult to get these internship ?
queries after getting a job:
3. even if get a job under their NOC list .....is there any limit on the salary amount which we need to earn while doing the job ? for eg: if i earn less then 3000$ per month, then i am not eligible for PR.
4. After how many yrs of work exp, we can apply for PR ?
5. which are best colleges to go for pg diploma course in marketing/ business management which also helps in getting internship too...?
6. are there any govt. / publicaly funded universities too, which are better then the govt. colleges and offer MBA degree in less cost as compared to other expensive universities ?
please reply....anyone who is applying for jan 2013 seesion ...please get in touch...thx
Hi,
Do not get confused unnecessarily. Always consult the official websites for the correct and up to date info and not private blogs.
1. Yes, as long as you do a 2 acd. year/4 sem any post secondary course form a recognized Canadian educational institute, you will be eligible for a 3 years open PGWP.
To know more about various work permits for international students:

Here's the list of recognized eductaional instiutes eligible for OCWP+PGWP:

It will give you enough time to figure out a way to get PR. You can also come back to India, without a PR. It's on you. It's false that after 1.5 years you will get PR. It actually depends on the student immigration route you choose.
There are many student immigration schemes like the Federal govt. CEC to many Provincial nominee programmes.Most student immigration programmes, require that you 've a skilled job(NOC O,A or B). But there are Provincial nominee programmes like Sask PNP and Manitoba PNP, which requires you to do any job (including NOC C,D).
Check out the list of official links, and go through all the immigration programmes, and decide for yourself, which you may want to pursue to--

2. I need to know your exact profile. If you have a 4 years Bachelor's degree(with min 60-70% depending on the university), then appear for GMAT (min. 550), IELTS (min. overall 6.5) and along with your 4 years work ex, you can easily apply for MBA at recognized Canadian public universities. If you are falling short on the academics part, then you may join lower rung MBA's like that in VIU or some 1 year or 2 years PG certificates/diploma at any of the Canadian colleges. If 3 years PGWP is your priority... the go for a 2 years Business related PG course in Canadian colleges (which are few) -- GBM at Centennial college, GBM at Humber college, 2years PG course in Business management at Lambton college - Sarnia campus, Toronto campus, Lloydminster (Alberta/Saskatchewan) Campus. Lambton Toronto campus is cheaper not only in terms of lower tuition fees (as compared to Centennial and Humber) but also there are many opportunities for part time jobs in Toronto/GTA. If you are solely confused on Sask Provincial Nominee immigration programme, you may go to Lambton college, Lloydminster campus, but availability of part time jobs will be lower as compared to Toronto.(http://www.lambton.on.ca/Toronto/BMGT/)
You may also pursue 1 year PG certificate programmes in specialized field such as Marketing, Advertising, Strategic Relationship Marketing Program at George Brown college, but these will give you ONLY 1 year PGWP. (http://www.georgebrown.ca/B409-2012-2013/)
3. There is no such condition. Although, if you are doing legally a full time job in Canada, you will be paid according to the prevailing market wages.
4. Again it depends on the student immigration route you choose. Some may require you to work for 3 months, 6 months or 1year before you can apply for PR/provincial nomination.
5. Most colleges are more or less same. Some colleges are popular and widely known such as NAIT, SAIT, GBC, RRC etc. Ultimately, it all depends on your individual talent, skills, networking ability and dash of luck to get that internship or skilled job of your choice.
6. Some of the prominent recognized universities with low tuition fees/ cost of studies, especially for graduate level are:
Memorial University
University of Manitoba
University of Saskatchewan
University of New Brunswick
University of Regina
University of Prince Edward Island
St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia
Acadia University, NS
Some of the above may have limited graduate level programmes available.
You will need to do research, check for appropriate programmes, check eligibility, intakes and if you 've got doubts contact the concerned universities.
Best of Luck.
