To get your study permit in the first place, you need to show that you can arrange $10,000 for your living expenses and pay your tuition. During the first months of studying, you are only allowed to work on your college campus. You would have to ask what you can do there, maybe you can re-stock books in their library. After 6 months of studying, you can apply for an off-campus work permit. This permit will allow you to work up to 20 hours a week during the semester or full time during holidays. After you complete your studies, you can apply for a post-grad work permit, an open permit valid for as long as your studies were.

If you want to immigrate, it is better that you take a 2 year course because it will give you more possibilities to immigrate. For example, with 2 year studies and 1 year skilled work, you can apply under Canadian experience class. You could also possibly apply as a graduate through a PNP or be sponsored by an employer.

If you want to immigrate, you should also not get caught working under the table or without a work permit or you might find yourself on the plane back home sooner than you expected.

If you do 1 year study and 1 work, you dont qualify for CEC.

If you want to stay, you need a good employer who will apply for your LMO and proper work permit after your 1 year of post-grad is over. Then you have more time to apply for PR, either through a PNP or CEC.

If you don't qualify for CEC, then you will need a job offer if you want to apply from India, either through PNP or FSW then.

That is true. When I applied in 2000, it was much easier. There was no most wanted list, no CAPs, no IELTS and I had my visa in 9 months.
