Hey guys, I am a new immigrant in canada. I have been living here for about nine months. Right now I am studying in Grade 12 and about to graduate in four months. I am planning to go to University of Toronto or York University for my postsecondary education.But i am not able to decide which program should i choose. I have always wanted to have a career in computer/IT field. I have had this desire since i was a kid studying in Kathmandu. Now i am hearing all these stories from my parents and relatives about canadian and american immigants especially from countries like nepal, india and pakistan who have degree in software engineering but are unable to get jobs in their desired fields. After doing plenty of research i found that the prospects of getting jobs in canada is very good for computer engineering/programming graduates from canadian unversities/colleges.But i don't know what are the job prospects for someone of my background.My parents want me to take business administration or accounting course. I am really confused what should i do. Could I please get some advice from anyone who have the experience of studying in canada/usa or working in the computer field.What are my chances of getting jobs as a programmer/analyst in canada and also USA.What should i expect in computer engineering program?What should i do to get success in this program?If i choose business administration then what would be my chances of getting jobs and how much salary should i expect to get. Your advice would really help me to choose the right career path.
