Hello,
I shall be moving permanently next month to Toronto with my wife. I am not able to exactly work out what course or academic stream I need to consider to enhance my qualification which can support my experience to meet or at least say can make countable recognition in Canadian job market, below I am briefing my background so you can have an idea and can suggest what is more suitable
Age 35
University Education : Graduate (B.Com)
Professional experience: 12 yrs (National & International 2, 10 resp)
Industries: Wireless Telecomm, Consumer Electronics & Homeappliances
Business Skills: Business Planning, Risk mitigation,revenue management, credit control & Merchandising - marketing
Technical Skills:
Oracle PL/SQL,
Profound understanding of BSS & OSS of wireless telecommunication (GSM/Satellite),
Business Intelligence (IBM-Cognos)(Analyst-User)
Based on my above profile what can you suggest. If I do not find job in the said industry I am ready to spend 6 months full time for any course or 1 -2 yrs part time so can do part time jobs to meet the living cost and upgrade myself to market demands. I cannot afford full time or executive expensive MBA courses. But as I understand that having a Canadian education probably can help in ones growth in Canada, may not be immediately but in long run for sure.
I am open to change my career too, open to new industries and ready to learn new skills as well.
Some of the courses I could see immediately are below, however if you can give further inputs, it will be very helpful. These are considered due to their fees, however if there are courses more suitable to my background I would like to stick to experienced industries.

Try to keep this in your business profile. Rogers, Telus, RIM, Bell might be your target companies. The more you jump, the more time you spend learning basic.
Nobody could tell you what to do. Only you can decide what's good and useful for you and your career.
It's not always wrong; You move, You loose.
Thanks Sville, your points noted.
