My niece is got accepted at the York University in Toronto. Is that a good school and would it help her eventually in securing a good job in order to apply for Canadian PR?

York University is an excellent university, however it really depends on the program that she has been admitted to. At this time they are recruting international students for their continuing education programs of 1 year duration. If you are referring to them than they do not have the same value as Bachelors and Masters degree programs. As far as PR is concerned, it is based on her profile and other parameters. A combination of Canadian experience, good IELTS score and higher education help in achieving PR. The key is that one should be able to find a job that is skilled level B and above after graduation.

Thank you Chitra. She got into 4 year program for international bachelors in humanities. Is that one of the well recognized programs at YU? She is also learning French and planning to continue that while in Toronto. Is the PR process relatively easier than US green card ?

Study well!

That is a great program. Yes, immigration and PR process as well as Citizenship requirements are way better than the USA. Special pathways are available for students who want to immigrate to Canada..

She will be starting in August/September 2019. Is there something she should be doing now to enhance her experience in Canada and improve her PR chances (eventually )

She also got accepted to UNC okanagan - is that a better school? Also is it possible to eventually transfer to UBC Vancouver ( main campus)?

Thanks you for the information Chitra

I could use some guidance on how to transition out of firm life into a government role.

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago. I'm actively applying (and interviewing) for new opportunities. What's a good time to mention to a potential employer that I'm on implied status? I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!
