If I go to Canada, can I pursue a postgraduate diploma or should I do a master's degree for a Bachelor's?

A master's degree is generally the stronger option for career growth and immigration benefits in Canada, but a postgraduate diploma can be a cost-effective, faster alternative.

- Postgraduate diploma: 1 year, practical skills, lower cost, quicker entry to the job market. Typically offers shorter post-study work permits and fewer advantages for permanent residency.
- Master's degree: 1-2 years, advanced knowledge, better job prospects, higher recognition, and longer post-study work permits (up to 3 years). Stronger pathway to permanent residency.

With your bachelor's degree and work experience, a master's degree will usually provide greater long-term benefits, but a postgraduate diploma is suitable if you prefer a shorter, more affordable route.
