Am 38 years old married man and had concluded a graduate program in the Scandinavia country, three years back. However, it has been difficult to secure professional job. At same time, I thank God that I have unprofessional job that has placed me on the part for permanent residence in two years time.

Also, three years back I did apply for “Skilled workers and professionals” of Canada which is still in primary process stage. Consequently on this delay I applied for graduate admission into University of Ottawa for Jan. 2012 beginning. Thank God also, I did secure the admission and the student visa, although I will need job on/off campus to foot my tuition and other bills.

My questions are:

1. Should I wait and get my permanent residence in two years, than going off to Canada this January 2012

2. How easy is it to secure job on / off campus in Ottawa?

3. What is the impact of earlier “Skilled workers and professionals” if i move to Canada as a study?

4. What is impact of age?

5. Is there other alternatives or advice?

Your advices and contributions are appreciate and thank you.

I think your study in Canada will boost your PR application. Just make sure you update them on any changes.

you know very well that even UK dont pay high for labor as much as any Scandinavian country does and what makes you think that you will get good pay in canada compared to ur present country.
i also think have a permanent residence in any of the Scandinavian country is a very good thing and i think you know this urself

If i were you,i would wait and get the permanent resident permit (PR) and with this i believe you can file for citizenship.At least right now,you have a job (though unprofessional).If you are keen on furthering your education,i believe education is free in most of the Scandinavian countries up to Phd level,why not take that advantage?.
Besides which country are you? Traveling to Canada now to start all over again is not the best option,don't rely on any job to augment your tuition fees and other bills,that is risky,what if you wouldn't find any job or the pay isn't enough to patch things up.

Moreover,you mentioned you are married,and probably with kids i guess.Please think this over and over again before plunging into decision.

All the best.

Any other particular reason why you want to take a further post graduate course

Any other reason why you want to leave your current location

Are you restricted, are you allowed to travel outside
