How difficult is it to get an Electrical Engineering job in Canada as an international student after completing a Master’s?

0 Upvotes

I’m an international student currently studying Electronics and Communications Engineering, and I’m considering pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering in Canada.

My main goal is to find a job in Canada after graduating. I’d like to hear from people who have gone through this process or work in the Canadian engineering industry.

A few questions I have:
How difficult is it to find an Electrical Engineering job after completing a Master’s degree in Canada as an international student?

Do Canadian employers generally hire international graduates?

How long does it typically take to find your first engineering job after graduation?

I’d appreciate any honest advice!
Thanks in advance!

CAREER Test Engineer vs. Validation for transition to design

• Upvotes

I’m an undergraduate student, and have internship offers for an analog test engineer and HBM PHY validation engineer. They’re at the same company, and I’ve been told in the recruiting process that the analog test position deals with multiple IPs and is more lab work orientated. My long term goal is to transition into analog design, but there aren’t many undergraduate internships where I’m from, and my university doesn’t teach much at the undergrad level. What do the career trajectories look like for these two roles, and which would provide a better path toward eventually transitioning into analog design?

Freshman choosing wrong career path (PM)

Hi,
For little context I'm a freshly graduated EE in Eu, I was an intern during my bsc and also did FSAE ending up as Chief Engineer. Since automotive industry is cooked and I also find industrial automation interesting I accepted and offer as a Project Lead at a nice company. I thought it would be more engineering related but it's really high level and I'm not doing anything engineering related even. I don't enjoy this, I'm scared I will forget my engineering skills.
I got offers for Maintenance Engineering and I talked with them it seems nicer but I heard that's also not that 'engineering' related.
Do you guys have any advice what should I do?
I worked so hard during my diploma to be in a good position after graduation but now I feel stuck.
