Should I move to Canada ?

[khkhkhkh]

hello,
I am 32 years old, working as CHEMIST in a Public Sector University Research Center (Saudi Arabia) and the salary is almost 2300 CAD $. I have done Masters in Chemistry from Finland.
I got admission to a Master (Electro analytical Chemistry) from a University in Newfoundland. It is fully funded.

I am bit confused to go for it.
I wish to apply for PR after the completion of masters.
However, I am afraid of the following,

1. Would I be able to find a job after M.Sc?
2. What will be the chances to get PR?
3. Should I leave my current job and go for this adventure?

Please help me to decide................

1. There is no guarantee, you have to keep in mind there are hundreds of other people with much stronger candidate portfolio applying for the same job.
2. Since you have done Masters in Chemistry from Finland and have relevant work experience you should not have any problems getting PR.
3. Depends on your risk tolerance and your life style.

You must have applied for the fellowship, so what was your motivation then? Reading between the lines (you call this "an adventure") makes me think you WANT to go for it. You are the only one who can answer the question you pose, but think about this.....how do you think you will look back on this decision in 20 or 30 years time? What's the worst that could happen?
Congratulations on getting the opportunity of a fully paid Canadian university education. All the best.

I think the most important question is do you want to? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? If your job is so great that you feel you still want to be there in 10 years, then stay. If not, then maybe you should go and try your luck.

The odds of getting a job in Canada always depends on where, when and luck. You can not just look in one province, you must look in all of Canada. After completing your program, you can get a post-grad work permit. This is an open permit so you can take any job but you should look at this as a time to find a good position with an employer who wants to keep you. When that work permit runs out, you will have other means of staying. Your employer could sponsor you for PR, you can change your work permit to a regular work permit etc.
