I’ve been thinking of doing my CS degree abroad but idk where to go I’m mostly looking at places where getting a job after studies is easier, and maybe settling long-term too.
Anyone here has any idea which one’s better in terms of opportunities and lifestyle?
Hey! If you’re doing CS and looking for job opportunities + long-term settlement, here’s a quick idea:
-
Canada is amazing for both. Good universities, growing tech scene, easy post-study work permit, and clear PR pathways. Super international-student friendly.
-
Germany is great if you’re okay with learning a bit of German. Public universities are super affordable (some even free), and there’s strong demand for tech talent. PR is possible after a few years of work.
-
USA is the top choice for tech jobs, especially big companies — but settling long-term can be tricky because of the visa situation .
-
UK gives 2 years post-study work visa now, but PR takes longer and job market can be competitive.
-
Australia is chill lifestyle-wise and has clear migration pathways, though the tech scene isn’t as big as US/Canada.
If you’re aiming for career + lifestyle + staying long-term, I’d say Canada is a super balanced option.

Let us know in case you need some more help with your decision.
Thank you so much to @palak_ranjan @r.nikam0707 for your insights. Also had another question, how is the experience with the visa process (like work permits/PR) after graduation? Any tips to make the transition smoother?
Hey @aradhya1 The visa and PR process really depends on the country. In Canada, it’s super smooth—you get up to 3 years work permit and a clear PR path through Express Entry. Australia gives you 2–4 years post-study work rights and a points-based PR system. Germany offers 18 months to find a job and PR after 2–3 years with work + German skills. USA gives you up to 3 years OPT if it’s STEM, but PR depends on H-1B sponsorship. To make the transition easier, start networking early, apply for internships, and pick a course that offers a solid post-study visa!
Then Canada and Germany would be the best options for studying and to land a job after as well easily. Thanks, this will help me better in streamlining my options.
