<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I would like to start of by saying that I respect the Immigration laws in USA, and I do understand why there is such laws. Ofcourse the Americans should be prioritated to get a job. But eventhough I do respect those laws I would rather swim across burning lava while getting munched by piranhas infected by death himself than returning to my home country, after finishing my studies.</p>
<p>I am aiming for a high degree in accounting with a CPA.</p>
<p>I am inlove with USA and Canada because it has beautiful landscapes.</p>
<p>I would like to know from someone with knowledge, is it just as hard moving to Canada with the intention to live and work, as it is moving to USA? If it is easier please tell me how its easier. I know it is nearly impossible to do that in USA, so leave that out, please.</p>
<p>Would be interesting to know the following:
What country would YOU like to move to after your studies? And why?
What degree do YOU have or intend to take?
Are you satisfied by your choice of degree? If not, why?</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Precision</p>
<p>I don’t think we international students are in a position to choose, to be honest. Also, living in different parts of the USA would mean highly different experiences (Mid-west vs Bay Area, etc). Go apply widely and compare offers and hopefully you will find some job you like.</p>
<p>I know we are not in the position to choose, atleast not until a chance shows up. My cousin succeded for example (Australia.)</p>
<p>The Canadian immigration system for grads of CA universities seems WAY easier than that of the US system. I haven’t looked into it extensively, but Canada’s on a push for immigrants and they’re much more eager to take a good grad than the US. They have some ‘points’ system and a special category for people who went to a Canadian university etc. and it just looks a lot simpler than the US.</p>
<p>Google it, their website has pretty clear instructions.</p>
<p>Oh, and Citizenship and Immigrations Canada doesn’t take $1k of your money, make you wait an ungodly amount of time, then deny you. They can’t. The points system clearly delineates who will be granted or refused permanent residency. </p>
<p>I’m trying to go to law school in Canada for this same reason. If you get a JD or LLB from a school like Toronto/McGill/whatever then you can take the bar in the state of New York anyway.</p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>The thing is that I am already accepted to a college in the US. Can I transfer from there to Toronto? McGill is not an option since I do not speak french, that is what i’ve hear they do.</p>
<p>Thank you for the tip!</p>
<p>It’s always possible. But you can always go to university here then go to grad school there. McGill is a fully bilingual school. I don’t think French is essential.</p>
<p>Immigration into any country with a points-based system rather than the US nonsensical system is going to be more certain. You meet the criteria they set, you’re in. Otherwise, you’re not. Unlike some of these other countries, the US system (especially for permanent residency) is completely nonsensical.</p>
<p>If you obtain a 4 year Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized university in Canada, you are entitled to live and work in Canada for 3 years under their post graduation work program. In addition, since Canada is still actively seeking educated immigrants, you would be able to apply during the 3 years you are working there and likely receive permanent residence.

<p>Also you do not need to know French to study at Mcgill.</p>
<p>There is still plenty of time to apply to Canadian universities.</p>
<p>Canada and Australia are infinitely more immigration-friendly for international graduates of their universities than is the US. It saddens me to have to admit it, but those are the facts. Take another long hard look at the Canadian universities and see if you can find one that meets your interests. Here is a link to information about Australian universities:

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
<p>Thank you all for taking your time to answer my questions. I appriciate it very much. </p>
<p>futurenyustudent: So you are saying it is possible for me to transfer to McGill or any Canadian university after my first 2 years in an American College?</p>
<p>It might be, I’m not sure. I think the canadian universities in question would be able to answer that better, although I think you can get into the McGill LLB program after 2 years at a university.</p>
<p>“All applicants to McGill’s integrated program must demonstrate substantial reading ability in, and aural comprehension of, both English and French. Both English and French material will be assigned in all first-year courses and in many upper-year courses; students are therefore expected to read complex texts in both languages from the outset of their studies.”</p>
<p>As I thought 
Oh well, I will enjoy the U.S until I graduate and then I will try to move to Canada instead.</p>
