Has anyone landed as a PR and began university? I was thinking this might be a great way to get adjusted to life in Canada compared to working? Just evaluating what might be the best options to beginning life in Canada. Maybe going to school in Canada may mean employers are more open to your applications too?
Depends on whether you are in a regulated profession, in a type of job where it is common to ask, or on your skill levels. My employer never cared about my education and the many other job offers I got never asked for it either. If you are in product, marketing, sales, tech, HR, customer support, customer success, etc - no one will ask you for a local degree or prefer one with a local degree(unless it is very hard to differentiate on skill levels e.g. a Barista).
