This is a very good question that requires a good and critical thinker to ask. my views and hypothesis might not fully address your concern or question, but i think they relate in some way.. from my little field work study on the cause of why some international student find it difficult to get a job in canada after several years doing both under graduate an post graduate study "Here in Canada".. I realize that most international student focus Only on their studies to get the best grades, which is however good. but i think most international student fail to put into consideration the advantages the local student have over we the international student..which are; 1.The Colour: Race and ethnicity are two culturally constructed categories, which are most time mainly defined on the basis of skin colour. 2. Work experience: 90% percent of the Canadian parents only sponsor their children to high school level, after which the children are been expected to work and train them self's for undergraduate and postgraduate which is in contrast to the pattern of so many other countries including Nigeria. This is why the citizens are most times regarded as to have more work experience over the international students by many employers. 3.Team work ability: team work is always crucial in workplaces, and it is one of the ability the citizens learn from a much earlier age in their place of work after high school.
..Now think about this advantages and see how it relates with your question. what i think with regards to undergraduate level; I think most people prefer getting a diploma from a College, which has to do with more practicals and less theory studies, and this could stand as a work experience which is one of the advantages the citizens have over you an international student. After which you can pursue a degree from a university, while studying you shouldn't just focus on studying alone but also involving in some volunteering school group, earn volunteering points, which could stand as your Team work ability another advantage the local student have over you. primarily what employers look for when hiring new employees are: 1.Certificate, 2.Work experience, 3.Team work ability, others are secondary..i wish i can elaborate more on this but unfortunately i have to stop here, it's left for you the thinker to think further.. My view on this issue is open for all, other views are welcomed, both for and against..

vinnygod: have noticed a quite number of peepz who are aspiring for graduate study choose colleges to universities despite its expensive nature.have been wandering the factors behind this choice though done a lil research but later decided to ignore it, surprisely this question was later reawaken by a friend who came to me with same issue.please wanna throw same question here,why do people prefer C to U; what are the advantages of one over other??

Jijola: Note the alteration in the quote below.
On whether people opt for colleges more than Universities, I may not be able to conclude on this to avoid hasty generalization. However, the merits a College has over a University which may influence one's decision to opt for the former include but are not limited to the following:
1.More Practicum, which gives field experience as opposed to theoretic knowledge associated with University education.
2. Lenient entry requirements, though not applicable to everyone who choses a College.
3. More coop opportunities adding to work experience.
4. More technical specialisations which have better job opportunities, e.g. Welding, drilling and safety are lucrative Engineering areas whose trainings are mainly available in colleges in addition to professional trainings.
5. Colleges offer more Diploma and Certificate programmes which benefit those that want to change fields.
6. College programmes are generally shorter, hence faster 'profit' turn-over. You can start earning money asap.
7. Employers tend to favour college graduates more because the remuneration is somewhat lower than University graduates. This is why there are more openings for college products in most sectors where both sides can work.Note however that this is common only in areas where either party is eligible for the job, and it's not a research/academic one.
8. In the western world, Universities are mainly for researchers/academics while colleges are mainly for technicians and technologists. Generally, there are more industry job openings than research/academic openings.
Hope this lil input makes some clarification.

you don't to be nervous, they are people who just got thier cert and still find jobs easy, as we all know, apparently getting a job is all about competition, get those things your opponents don't have, it's simple, here are the steps to follow,
1.get into your postgraduate studies,
2.get involve in at least two volunteering groups in school that relate to your field of study.
3. get a part-time job, preferably the one that also relate with your filed of study as well..at the end of your studies you should have a good Graded cert, little working experience from the part time job, which if eventually you do well you can easily switch to a full time worker. and also a volunteering point from the school, and if you have a good personality your group members might develop a special interest on you and be willing to help you out in one way or the other after school. then you are good to go..thinking at the margin..
