What school in Manitoba? What masters do you already have and what type of masters and PhD have you received admission to? Whether you are able to obtain a study permit for another masters degree is probably a more important factor than potential part-time job opportunities in both cities. Very tough to predict the general job market so far in advance especially given the Canada’s weak economy (especially high youth/young adult) unemployment rate as well as the struggling global economy and also without your education and work history. Getting a job as a newcomer and student also often depends on whether you have contacts who may be able to help you secure a part-time job. Did the masters and PhD offers come with any tuition funding or job offers as a teacher (TA or lecturer), research assistant, etc. ?
