1. They are all good colleges. However none of them will guarantee you a job quickly after finishing school with a great salaray. I will single out Sheridan for being extremely strong and known worldwide for certain programs (e.g. animation, medical technical illustration). However since you aren't interested in these areas of study, this doesn't apply to you.
2. Employers typically look for university degrees first and then college degrees second.
3. I don't know.
4. No

1. you said that "cannot guarantee for a job quickly",, is this statement also applies to graduates from Universities?
2. universities first, then colleges, but still is there a BIG chance that they get gradutes from colleges?

right now im depressed, i need clear answers :(

also please answer.
3. since i took Bachelor of Science in Information Systems 4 year course in my current country, can i take networking/technician support/security 2 year course in canada then have a good job?

1. Applies to everyone. A college or university education does not guarantee a job.
2. I'm not sure I understand this question.
3. Again, there's no guarantee you'll get a good job in your field immediately even with that background.

Unfortunately the only clear answer I can give is that no one can guarantee that you will get the kind of job you want (or any job) if you come to Canada and complete your studies here.

It's your choice. You can choose to live in Canada or outside Canada after graduation.

Reply to first question of original Post

As others have said, a college or university education does not guarantee you a job but it SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES your chances of getting a job. Just like any other country, there are many people in Canada, with Canadian education, who are unable to get a job in their field or who are underemployed (working in jobs below their qualification).

Yes, the college/university attended will make a impact on employers. However, generally, the differences between the colleges you listed are not huge. Employers generally will look at university versus public college versus private colleges differently

Good luck

It is not true that employers look for University degrees first then college Diplomas, as least, not so in Canada. Its a misconception that employers look for Uni degrees first. It actually all depends on the job requirement and the qualifications required for the job itself. It fact, the current trend in Canada, if one is knowledgeable is that Technical diploma holders are able to land jobs faster and easier than those with Uni degrees unless u have ample relevant job experience for the job u are applying for. In fact, recent statistics indicate that many uni degree holders who are unable to find jobs are going back to colleges to get professional diplomas cause their degree could not land them jobs that they had degrees in.
