If you end up going to Manitoba, you can apply for provincial nomination after 6mths or after getting a job in social works immediately after graduation. The province would extend your work permit after you successfully get nominated. Processing time officially is 6mths for Mpnp.

If you end up in Ontario then indeed it may be more difficult to get a job(varies depending on individual). So you may have to leave after your pgwp expires and apply for Express entry from outside the country. Or you may be lucky and things work out for you on the job front.

In both provinces, its advisable to work as a residential support worker in a foster home during your social work training so that you would have some form of Canadian experience that you could use later when applying for the social work position.

Speaking for Manitoba, such jobs arent difficult to get as a student whether you live in Winnipeg or outside the city hub.

dear, pls is university northern British columbia and university of british columbia also good? i plead that you recommend schools located in provinces will be good for me.

Where do you get this information from?? You don't need to understand French to get a social worker job!!! In Canada unless you're working in Québec. Also there are jobs everywhere especially outside the tech circle. Make up your mind and get reliable facts please.

thanks dear. My statement was based one of the criteria I read from one of the universities I tried applying. Thanks for clarifying. I have made up my mind it's just that I want to be sure of the possibility of soughting my self out b4 the expiration of the one year pwgp, I hoped I would get a 3years pgwp but it turned out its likely a year.

Good day.... I have a bachelors degree in social work and i want to run a masters program in Canada. Irecently applied 4 a masters program at University of Manitoba, and I am also Considering university of British Columbia and Carlton.
Note: since I have a degree in social work already, I am eligible for a one year advanced masters program in social work, thus reducing my pgwp to only one year.
I want to stay back after the pgwp.

My question is this,
I read that those in IT fields find it easy to get jobs there, will I be able to get one as a social worker after the pgwp having in In mind that I am a foreigner and i have no knowledge of French(most jobs may require the social worker been fluent in French) ?
