Pursuing a bachelor's degree in Canada is the more reliable option for your long-term career and immigration prospects, especially with the recent changes in Canadian immigration rules.

- A bachelor's program at a designated learning institution (DLI) allows you to work part-time (up to 24 hours/week, subject to change) and become eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), which can extend your stay and work rights after graduation.
- Getting a job as a flight instructor in Canada is challenging without Canadian credentials or experience, and obtaining a work permit for this role can be complex.
