US vs Canada for internationals
Hi, I'm an international from Brazil who got into some Canadian targets (Like McGill, Ivey, and Queens) for undergrad and was wondering how the visa/sponsorship situation is in Canada...
I know I'll be eligible for 3 years of PGWP after graduation, and I know that as long as I remain a "foreigner" without PR, I'll never be viewed the same as a native. That's fine, but will I still be able to get hired by firms? Will they avoid me as they do with internationals south of the border? Despite not being a Canadian-born candidate, will I still have a shot at landing a position in Toronto IB (given I'm qualified enough, ofc)?
I don't want it to be easy, I just hope it to be feasible...
Don't mind coming back home, but would like to work for a bit in Bay St before heading back/somewhere else.
Thanks for reading lads
Depends what you are looking to do in the long term, really. If you are not really attached to a country, I would definitely look into the UK as well. However, if you want to work in North America, then Canada and US are both great - but I have to be honest, the top US schools still have more clout than the top Canadian schools (although the US schools clout is rapidly diminishing due to policy changes with the orange administration). Either way, in all three countries it should be fairly easy to get a student visa as a start and then a graduate visa.
Hi, thanks for replying. I don’t plan to leave Canada for the US right after graduation, the country would be receiving me with open arms, so I’d like to work in Toronto for a while before anything else. Paying back or something like that. Do you know if it’s easy to get hired by firms in Canada while on the PGWP visa? Like, are they indifferent to it?
You would since most students in Canada aren't even Canadian in the elite schools. Good luck!
