I need your advise on the following -

I have learnt that one can apply for post-graduate work permit after finishing study and there are other formalities to be eligible for Canadian PR.

Does it matter where in Canada I have got my degree/diploma from when I apply for PR? Just to make it clear, I understand the study must be completed from a Canadian government recognised institute.

I have been just searching on the Internet and it seems that Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia are the provinces where one can get PR relatively quicker.

Would you say that my chances of getting PR becomes higher by doing a degree/diploma/certificate from one these provinces?

OR

I can just do my education anywhere in Canada and then move to one of these provinces and follow their immigration rules?

I hope you can show me the right direction.

If anything about my question is not clear, please let me know and I'll try to explain.

Yes, I can see that it does has an "advantage" i.e. requirement of 6 months full-time work experience if Studied in Saskatchewan VS 24 months of works experience required if studied elsewhere in Canada.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Can you please let me know which other provinces offer similar quicker way to get PR? Its better to know what all options are before making a final decision.

thanks once again.

SO it has to be field related work experience as I'm planing for Small business and Enterpenurship program so i have to start business or i can work somewhere else as manager in Retail,Small business ?
 
You cannot operate your own business on Post Graduate Work Permit.

Your program SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM prepares you to operate a small business or to be a Manager or Assistant Manager in a small business. So, you can get into a job and in fact thats the only option you have.

This is a good program as you can work in varied sectors.
