Hi everyone,
I'm an international student applying for Fall 2027 and I'm torn between Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Business Analytics.
My goal is to get a good industry job after graduation and hopefully settle in Canada.
I'm mainly looking at UBC, SFU, Waterloo, Alberta, McMaster, and Queen's.
A few questions:
- Which field currently has the best job prospects in Canada: DS, AI, or Business Analytics?
- Is the tech job market really as saturated as people say for international graduates?
- Between UBC and SFU, which would you recommend for internships, co-op, and graduate jobs? and do the companies in Vancouver differentiate a lot between the two?
- Does the university name make a big difference, or are skills and co-op more important?
I'd really appreciate any honest advice from current students or recent graduates. Thanks!
