HaHaHa ;D. All I can say u is, if ur ready to work then Canada has a job fr u fr sure. If ur good at making contacts and interacting with people, u will get a job of ur choice in the province of ur choice. One more highlight fr u, based on the stats most of the Canadian population will retire soon, which will open up more job markets 8)

My personal experience. I have been in Canada fr 6yrs. Came to Canada with no contacts, 2000CAD in my hand and 1yr fees paid for my college,but I was willing to work in any job when I was studying. Worked in pizza shop,gas station,KFC and some labor work, all this was part-time I was able to get all these jobs with just phone calls and dropping of resumes.

Attended seminars,conferences,made a lot of industry contacts when studying and waited to do the right co-op. Got 3 good co-op jobs one after other and made it as an Airport Manager right after my graduation (But the catch is tht,this was offered in Northern Manitoba. I took up the job to gain some experience). When working there I made more contacts and made my way back to a city. Now working as an ADM in St.John's(awesome pay,nice people and my dream job). As long as ur willing to work hard and make some good contacts, Canada is a land of opportunities.

Everything cannot be published in a newspaper.U have to learn frm others experience and path to success "is this published in the canadian news paper"
But I also have some vital stats for u, according to Statitics Canada 60%-70% of the Canadian population is getting retired soon.

Don't worry too much. Work hard, concentrate on ur education and leave the rest to GOD. Most important thing, never give up hope, u never know when u will strike the gold.

Best of luck

Here's the real answer. There is no guarantee you will get a job in your field after you graduate. You may or you may not - no one here can predict that. Business tends to prefer degrees over diplomas (especially big organizations like the banks). I would avoid event management. It's very difficult to break into this field (lots of people looking for jobs and not enough openings).

"Here's the real answer. There is no guarantee you will get a job in your field after you graduate. You may or you may not - no one here can predict that." - This is a most obvious answer.

Any country u try fr a job there is obviously competition. But it also depends on whether the candidate is willing to relocate and adapt to situations (my argument is jobs fr this kind of candidate is more in Canada,due to many remote locations).

Moreover Management is a very wide scope. I did Aviation management & project management, with my course I could work as a baggage handler or even an Airport Manager, it completely depends on how good ur at wht u do and how u can project urself.

Event Management is not a bad selection,but u will see a lot of competition in this field. Anything in business is very competitive,since most international students go fr these courses.

Schylla,is right abt grads getting better pay then diploma holders. Even I had completed my Aeronautical Engg. before I came to Canada

well very difficult to answer this question but here are my 2 cents. Getting a job does not just depend on a course. There are a lot of factors needed to find a job like networking, ur soft skills, ur luck, ur grades, ur course, ur past experience etc to name a few. It is getting tougher for international students to get a job. CIC has now made it a requirement for employers to notify CIC if they are hiring foreigners/open work permit holders. which inturn makes employers not hire open work permit(PGWP) holders.
PR has become difficult for PGWP holders. express entry is not a sure shot way to get PR. It is not as rosy as the agents make it sound ...picture here is very different. people have made it in the past but its getting very difficult. So think twice before choosing canada and before spending a lot of money on education. My personal opinion dont take a loan and come to study in canada hoping its all green pastures here.

what do you mean by this U TURN

will you please elaborated ..so I can explain that U-TURN 8)

If u can't understand that much , then you really should not bother!

 

[Dennia]

My explanation was not a U turn, but just a reality in life. There is obviously + and - in life, it always depends on individuals and how well they handle it.

I m just explaining the facts. If ur goin to be scared with all the people who r goin to put u down, u will never succeed in life. Take a chance, I know its a lot to risk,but ur investing on urslef,so if u r motivated and u work hard anything is possible.

I didnt come up in life,without hearing all these comments, everyday frm everyone arnd me. " Ur an international student - u cannot make it in aviation industry in Canada,u cannot get ur security clearence, u cannot get a job because u have Bachelors in Aeronautical, u cannot make it into management fr sure", all these r just examples of wht i heard frm my friendly critics. There is a whole bunch of people who like blaming on things without working hard.

Luck also plays a huge role in getting a job.So best of luck.

Buddy chill please ... Dont be rude, we all are here to help each other ...

 

[Dennia]

No offense taken buddy. Not trying to trumpet. All I am saying is there are people who have proved it. I learned it frm them.

Look at people above u and not below u,learn and never give up hope. I will not be where I am, if it was not for my one frnd who helped me learn the process and other people who discouraged me. There is always hope fr students thts all I am trying to prove,showing me as an example. Millions of people have proved it in Canada and millions more anxious and waiting fr a chance to prove.

I apologize,with the U turn comment. I just read the old post and realized ur comment was not fr me
