If i had the money i would go for canadian phd degree. It is a good bussiness.

I don't know why people are bringing up the idea of students spending money in Canada as the major selling point for people with Canadian educational credentials. The reality of the various industries in Canada is that they value Canadian education and experience over any other. This is also regardless if the foreign credentials were approved by WES or similar agencies.

Most Canadian educational program have a work component infused in it. Therefore graduates from Canadian universities tend to graduate with at least 1 year of Canadian work experience. In my opinion, these individuals are valued due to the skills they have, not by how much money they spent so far in Canada. They tend to easily integrate with Canadian culture, work environment and people in general.

As I had mentioned before, I currently spend almost double per year as a worker than I did as a student, tuition included.

Totally agreed on this. This is my point also that with studies and canadian exp intl students can get 480-520 points so why they whine about we are sitting on 380. Why they whine about bonus points. They want a path in which they complete a degree sit at home and receive PR at their doorstep. They dont want to earn it they just feel that it is their right. They want it easily at the expense of the one who deserves and is ready to earn it.

This is the stupidest thing I have read on this forum in a while. Most of the international students on PGWP I know were high school grads when they came to Canada and completed a 3-year diploma or a degree. It is utterly foolish on your part to think that most of the students here are enrolled in a masters program.

The experience earned while studying is not counted under express entry so additional points is necessary.

I would love to see that experience counting! I have 16 months of Co-op experience while studying and 18 months after graduation. I could jump from 1 year of EE worthy experience to 3!!

And most of us hard working former international students are working in a job directly related to our study, while other FSWs come to this forum and complaining why they cannot find jobs and have to work in minimum-wage jobs.

Co-op experience is extremely important in some occupations.

In the slide, it makes no mention of that, which seems fair as it is part of your studies.

They mean for prestigious NOC A occupations like lawyers, doctors, and the like

Most of the times, it's not. In some universities, you can choose to not participate in co-op.

Even if you choose too, you still need to send your resumes out and go to interviews like a real job, not everyone can find a co-op position.

Shall we just wait and gloat/complain once they do something?

True, it is tough especially where these are occupations preferred by Canadians, normally prestigious and preferred NOC A as I said like lawyers, language, history, journalism, etc... and there is shortage of articling/placement positions

BTW, you should have got ITA as you should have got more points with your Canadian work experience under the present Express Entry system, with high English maximum score CLB 10 in each section, as you are from England

Oooo I see what you did there...

Honestly, how come you did not meet the cut-off as under the present Express Entry system, Canadian work experience is worth much more plus your English test score, that should be so easy as you are English native
