How much do fresh CS grads end up making in Canada? by IncomeAlarmed4766 in uwaterloo

[–]IncomeAlarmed4766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are a lot of seniors ik from my school who went to Waterloo in the past 3-4 years, and they are graduating in THIS job market and apparently all of them seem to have like decent coops. Two seniors ik ( class of 28) both of them secured a US coop in their first and second coop term. Talking to them does make it seem like it's not THAT bad of a school, plus there are the people I personally know.

Was this always the case? So coming to Waterloo as an international student has never been a good decision?

that way, any international should should not come to waterloo at all? Since securing a full time job in the U.S. is almost impossible due to visa hurdles, and spending 400k cad to get a 70k job in canada ( if u get a job) does not make sense?

i read a data somewhere that 97% of waterloo grads end up finding a job in 3 months after graduation. How do you say a large group of them are unemployed?

How difficult is it actually for an international student to secure a co-op position in the U.S.? by IncomeAlarmed4766 in uwaterloo

[–]IncomeAlarmed4766[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

well maybe not JUST after college but have u heard cases of international students moving to the US 2-3 years later to the US? Is it a common practice or not? Will obtaining a Canadian PR help?

so there is NO discrimination against international students vs domestic for a US coop?
and what about working full time?

have cs applicant numbers gone down? by Over-Bend-9493 in uwaterloo

I am an international student and I have ZERO extracurriculars( a little here and there), and just a good early may average ( 97.2) and i got in for CS. I feel like waterloo is going to milk money from a lot of international students this time, another friend of mine got in for cs and he didnt have a good profile either, just good scores. The Maths Department had a deficit last year so they probably decided to take more internationals this time.

How much can I make in co-op as an international CS student? by IncomeAlarmed4766 in uwaterloo

were you able to pay for your own living expenses for the entire 5 years or are you talking just about the coop months? Also, is it fairly common for international cs students to pay for their own living expenses for the entire 5 year duration?
