• Answer:

  In general, a mere 2 year diploma does not stand out very well in the computer science field (or any other field, for that matter). There are many, many people with 4 year degrees and more in that field. Those people will be hired first. There is no 'job placement' concept in Canada. There, as in the United States, job openings are advertised to the public. People who think that they are qualified apply for the job. The employer chooses the applicant who they feel is best qualified for the job. It does sometime happen however that a person with fewer academic credentials but more actual experience will be hired over someone with purely academic credentials. If you happen to be thinking about earning such a degree in a foreign country (such as India, which is where you may be judging from your name), please be aware that your foreign degree will NOT transfer and will NOT be recognized in Canada. The two countries have entirely different academic criteria when it comes to college degrees. I am in the United States, and I happen to have friends who live in Canada. They have been mentioning recently that many foreign students seem to be under the mistaken impression that their diplomas in whatever field will be recognized in Canada. They aren't. They tell me that many immigrants with high hopes of getting a good job in Canada based on their foreign-earned degrees are ending up as taxicab drivers or in other such low-paying menial jobs.
