Hello,
I am new to the forum.
I am a Doctor from my back home country and want to pursue my education in Canada.Here are my few queries:
1)Should I go for Msc in HealthInformatics or PG Certificate from George Brown College?After which course(Masters or PGC)
would I be able to grab job easily?
As I heard that Community Colleges courses are practicum based and getting a job is easily after PGC or Diploma course rather than Master program?How much is this true?
2)For doing Business Analyst Certificate and Health Information Systems Certificate or Information Systems Management Certificate?Which University should I go for?
McMaster University , Ryerson University or University of Toronto?
Hope somebody will chime in and guide me.
Thanks !!!

When I finish my 10 + 2, I would not go back there unless it is for a re-union of sorts. So Go for MS IS.
Here is GEORGE BROWN. : I think they have been made it into a University recently.

You better head to the US for the best courses and an MSIS

Here is a small excerpt : Jeff Eckmann Analyst, Briefing.com, a student who went through this course.
"The curriculum helped me understand what’s moving the industry. I liked that so many professors work in the field and bring real-world experience to their teaching. My classmates were great. We had a lot of commonality, but we also brought different backgrounds to our work. In my group, there was a journalist and a musician along with people already working in tech."
If you want to study for these Degree Courses, you should immigrate and settle down and it might be possible to do that, Immigrating into Canada that is, with a Doctorate Degree.
I know of an individual who retired as the manager at one location with 250K salary/Yr. at 65. Currently he is swinging lead and sucking on olives. It might open a few doors for you too.
