Folks! Is it really necessary to have a Canadian degree to thrive in job market here? Especially in consulting? Asking to decide if I should apply for PG studies. I have masters degree but since its foreign so want to understand implications/possibilities. TIA!

I think a Canadian degree helps you get started. If you’ve already got a job at a good company in Canada I think you can build on that. If you’ve got a few years of solid employment with regular promotions people stop focusing on your degree.

US, European, or Australian degree from a decent school is generally regarded as equivalent to Canadian, but depends on the company.
