With all the weird policy changes lately and my OPT/H-1B chances being slim, I’m seriously thinking of transferring to Canada for a 1-year PGWP program or maybe Germany.
Anyone else considering this? What schools are you looking at and how’s the process compared to U.S.?
Hey Jyothi,
Totally hear you — a lot of students have been feeling uncertain lately with all the shifts in policy and the H-1B/OPT hurdles. You’re definitely not alone in considering options outside the U.S. 
Canada’s 1-year PGWP programs have been quite popular among our students recently, especially those looking for smoother immigration pathways. Some are looking at schools like Conestoga, Humber, and Centennial. The application process is generally more straightforward, but timelines and document requirements can vary by province.
Germany is another great option, especially if you’re open to English-taught programs in tech or business. Public universities there often have lower tuition costs, and the post-study work visa gives you some breathing room to find a job.
Warmly,
Jill
why limit yourself to schools? If you’re working, you could just apply for jobs
