Carrie,
Canada is a fine fine country to live and work. The primary reason I want to return to India after spending 6 years is to be close to my family and friends provided I can get a decent job there. My life in Canada has been relatively easy and rewarding.

Thanks for your reply..
Actually, alot of my friends who went to Canada
have taken advantage of the 3/5 year immigration
rule and returned to south asia as they say IT jobs are very difficult to come by...
Most of them worked in US and have over 5 years experience + a whole bundle of certifications.
Some of them who spent alot of money immigrating have resigned to a factory job life..

Abhijeet I am also in the same boat. After 6 years in Canada I am trying to return. I have applied to all of the companies you mentioned but did not get any response.

If it is not too personal, can you enlighten
me on why you are planning to leave Canada after 6 years ??
I plan to go to Canada, so you can guess why I am asking you the question.
thanks,
Carrie.

The website is not very clear on their requirements for Master of Software Engineering. Since this is a professional course i.e. non academic, do they require references from former tutors from a prospective student.??
Of course this is required for the academic graduate degree.. but for a professional one??
