Will I be able to take up the job immediately after I finish the course or before that? And if Yes, do I need to land to the home country and apply for a work permit after the completion..
What are the colleges or universities which I can target for the courses?

Hi,
It seems you are not clearly informed about many of the rules and procedures involved in migrating to Canada.
1. If you want to study any course more than 6 months, you need to apply for Canada study permit.
See my detailed reply on this previous post:

2. If you want to work in Canada, after studies... you need to complete a minimum of 8 months of course (which is usually 2 SEM) from a recognized college/University, and then apply for Post Graduate Work Permit. If you study a course of 2 full academic years (4 SEM/16 months), then you will get PGWP of 3 years, and if you study a course of atleast 8 months, but less than 2 years...you will get PGWP permit equal to the duration of your actual studies.
To know more about participating institutions see:

To know more about work permit options for international students see:

3. You need not only a good academic record, but also an IELTS score of min 6.5 (with no bands less than 6), to apply and get admissions in an appropriate PG level cert/diploma course in any recognized Canadian college. You need to do your individual research, as to which course and college/Univ to choose...by visitng all indivdual college/univ websites.
4.To eventually immigrate after your studies, you of course need a full time permanent job offer. It also depends where and in which province the job is located. Different provinces have different rules with their respective Provincial Nominee Programmes (PNPs) where you need to work in a full time permanent skilled/unskilled job for 3-6 months depending upon the provinces, as well as a federal govt scheme for international students called Canadian Experience class (CEC), where you need to work for 1 full year after your studies and then apply for PR (Permanent Residence). usually, the job needs to be skilled (NOC level O,A,or B).
