Is a university degree REALLY necessary for a visa?
Hello!
I'm a french-canadian (18M) and, in Quebec, we have something called "cegep" before being able to go to university. That takes around 2-3 years to finish before being allowed to go to Uni and, Imma be honest, I do not want to go through 3 years just to do 3-4 more years in university.
I have a Vocational studies diploma in IT (from a real school, took around a year and a half) and have a pretty decent portfolio, but nowhere near the 10 year minimum for a work visa.
I tried searching things up and pretty much everything I saw visa related required a university degree.
I do plan on going on a work holiday over there for at least a year to actually experience the work culture and see if I do want to make this into a long term thing, but I do want to know in advance if it's even possible for me to move there on the long term closely after my work holiday is done.
Just wanted either some insight or some ideas on what to actually do here because I am a bit lost.
Any help is appreciated!
