I would still wait a little bit longer ;) Maybe I am wrong but we will see. Having a plan B is also an option. I also have hear that New Zealand is making a crazy amount of PRs now. Is that true?

It is for their temporary residents. If am not wrong, one of the eligibility is to complete 3 years of stay in NZ

Hey so here's the deal. If you get into MBB for consulting, sponsorship will not hold you back. Actually not sure about Bain, but BCG and McKinsey won't even think twice about sponsoring your visa if they think you're worth it. Make sure you do all kinds of prep from day one because it's very competitive.

Outside of that, Deloitte advisory also sponsors visas. Deloitte Consulting does not. Smaller firms won't even look at your resume (it will never even be read by HR if you answer 'yes' to the 'do you need sponsorship' question which is present in all applications). You can get lucky with managerial roles in random companies but that's based on luck more than anything else. Overall, I'd say don't waste your time going to the US if you're Indian (your username suggests you are). EU provides pathways to residency. The US does not, and you'll be a slave to your H1B for your entire working life (unless you marry an american or wait 21 years after having a kid in the US.)

Also, the 'goodness' of an MBA won't actually matter if you're targeting MBB. As long as they do campus recruitment at your university, you will be interviewed. Typically expect to stay in the same state as your university. A top tier MBA will give you more options to work in a different MBB office than your University's state. And as a ground rule, if you get a summer internship at one of the companies, they will extend a full time offer. If you don't do a summer internship at those companies, you will have a much harder time getting in.

Sorry, thats not entirely true. Why? Because of this little thing called EB-1C. He basically need to become a "Manager of Managers". Very much possible in many companies. Many actually having offices in India. So he can take up a position which is basically a "Manager of Managers" and then apply for transfer to USA (under L1). Finally once in USA, he can apply for EB-1C. Once EB-1C, change back to whatever hell you want to do.

Currently EB-1 for india is current. https://www.fragomen.com/insights/alerts/september-2021-visa-bulletin-solid-movement-across-most-employment-based-categories-final-month-fy-2021-uscis-honor-final-action-dates-employment-based-categories

sir, one person getting a study permit rejected isn't a statistic. 'Likely to be rejected' implies a majority or at least a plurality of applications being denied, and even in that case, their circumstances don't apply to mine.

And yeah, doing whatever it takes. if I get into U of T for my program of choice (highly unlikely), then I wwould go even if I get an ITA before hand. That would ensure I get to Canada before 2024 and actually have a valuable brand attached to me.

If you think it's 1 person, you need to spend time on the International Students forum. At least 7 out of every 10 people that apply for SP get rejected, but this is mainly because people are not applying correctly. Almost everyone on the forum apply to colleges for diplomas and post graduate certificates after having a Masters degree. They also apply for courses that are completely irrelevant to their academic background and their work experience, because their consultants/agent told them to. These are what lead to the bulk of rejections. Other reasons are not enough funds, not well established enough or applying from a country where applicant has only temporary status and they didn't show how the program will benefit them in their home country.

If you are a Master's degree holder and you apply to a public university for PhD or even another Masters degree with specialization that is relevant to your work experience and future career growth, articulate your study goals properly in your SOP and show enough funds (including source of such funds), then you will likely get your permit approved.

When I joined the students forum and saq how almost everyone was getting rejected I was scared at first but I took my time to read through 100s of pages and tried to understand what the common thread of rejection was. Once I figured that out, I knew the problem was not with IRCC (most of the time) but with the applicant's profile. I was discouraged by members on the forum never to apply with my family because we will surely get rejected, instead I was advised to apply alone first, go to Canada if approved and then call my family 6 months later. Well, that wasn't going to work form me cos we have 4 kids and a husband whose work schedule is quite hectic. So I applied with our 4 kids (did everything entirely by myself, no agents or consultant whatsoever) and we were all approved first time around. The only reason my husband didn't apply together with us was because he was travelling at that time and wouldn't be able to get some of the documents required. As soon as he was back in town, he applied for his SOWP and he was also approved first time around.

All this my long story just to say: if you put in a solid application, you will likely get your SP approved first time around. Avoid all the usual pitfalls and you should be fine.

PS: A bit on my profile: Software Programmer with 17 years of experience (last 3 years in a managerial/technical lead role as Software Architect), BSc Computer Science, MSc computer science (not completed; abandoned years ago for personal reasons, all explained in my SOP) and an MBA. I applied for MSc in computer Science at 9 universities, was admitted into 6.

Just got my GCMS notes-Montreal VO.

Eligibility still not started, this is beyond a piss-take at this point. I give up, will make alternative plans now.

These are all obvious things, anyone who doesn't know them obviously hasn't done due research or I would say used his brain.

The point is, SP is not as much of a "loophole". Its an alternative only if you meet its requirement (ie you look like a genuine student) otherwise if you try to "fit" your case cheaply (by diploma or certificate), you will have trouble.

A 35 year old with masters applying for a certificate or diploma will invite rejection. Especially from those VOs which are being extra cautious.
