I am considering taking the study route to Canada (seems to be the most open at the moment), through which I would like to do a 1 year post grad certificate from one of the Ontario colleges...preferably with a co-op, but the cost is approximately CAD 12-13k just for tuition for international...is it worth that much? plus there is 10-15k more for accommodation, food etc..
I may consider working while studying as well to ensure a flowing income but I guess that will be small in-campus jobs for a few months, depending on when I settle down...but I think that should be fine..
Since it will be a post grad certificate in Ontario, I believe I can apply as international student in my last semester through Opportunities Ontario (which would be the co-op semester) or I can get a permanent job and apply under FSW, is this correct?
I would like to know - how does it work with regards to work permit?
The classes are 8 months, followed by a 4 month co-op...so how long and when can I get a work permit?
I would also like seniors (or any other experienced members) suggestions on whether this is a good idea?
