Hi everyone,
I have a friend from Korea who wants to move to Canada and settle in either Vancouver or Toronto.
He has a 4-yr degree in Commerce and Finance from a reputable university in Korea and has scored 8.0 on IELTS. He wants to know the best route to becoming a permanent resident in either Ontario or BC. He thought about pursuing a Master's degree in commerce&finance but realized that his major doesn't fall under one of the eligible program studies so he is thinking about going to a college for Computer and Information Sciences. Will he be able to apply for PR if he goes with this route ( 2 yr college diploma in Computer science and 1+ year of related job experience). What is the likelihood of getting an invitation with this option?
Also, since I'm completely oblivious to this process, I have no idea how the point system works. I see that there are points for five eligibility factors -- English proficiency, education, work experience, age, and others ,but what is the exact process of the assessment? how many points would he get if he is in the mid-late 20s, has a university degree in commerce&finance, has more than enough funds to support himself financially, and has lived in Korea and Russia for more than 10 years (perhaps score some points in the adaptability factor)? I'd like to get some insights into the assessment process so I can help him score the highest point he can get in his given circumstances.
