An applicant asked which province to apply to for a study visa for the best earning potential and easier immigration prospects after completing a master's in computer science.
What the group suggested:- For applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and finding jobs afterward, larger provinces like British Columbia and Ontario were recommended, since bigger cities generally offer more job openings in tech-related fields.
Practical takeaway:- Consider the size of the local job market (not just tuition or program cost) when choosing a province, since it can affect how easy it is to find work after graduating on a PGWP.
- Research province-specific tech job markets and cost of living together, since larger provinces with more opportunities often also have higher costs.
