I have a master's degree of computer science from Montreal, and lived there for 2 years and 8 months during and after my studies. I left to Australia and did my phd here in IT (it's been almost 4 years). I wonder if my chance of getting a residency through Quebec, or Ontario are good given that I have been outside Canada for the past 4 years. Would having the degree from canada count in any positive way in the point counting for residency?
