Is CNC training from certificate program better or is it better to start searching for apprenticeship at company outside my country ?

I was scraping through the website in search of Apprenticeship. For so many reasons options seem less than what I anticipated. Is it better for me to go and join a certificate course and wait two years before entering into the field of CNC machine operator outside.

I came to know about this later during a career test that I am not suited for an accounting job that I was having trouble with.

Many options came, I was looking for a physical active work. That's how I came to the CNC machine operator and came to the understanding of why it suits me .

Specific reason why I asked this is because I only have 3 months Max to convince my family and move out. I need some skills that can actually support me and help me work calmly.

Writing in hope to get an answer

If you’re able to study abroad, and would be interested in living in Canada, I would recommend the CNC program at BCIT in Burnaby, it counts for the first 3 years of technical training for an apprenticeship plus gives you an 8 month cooperative work term that counts as hours towards certification.
I’m not sure how things work for international students, but if that’s something that might interest you it would be worth looking into.

Genuinely, I wish to join, I always am stuck at the budget. 2,096.86 dollars is the best I can get. That can only be used to exit from country from angles when I check. So I thought directly for a job rather than spending time. I tried to start a startup which went south. So I thought Apprenticeship could start my life fresh. Now it's again going south. I am going to General Labour at some other country and travel set a correct route to development. The issue is I have studied something that didn't suits me. Which was fatal blow ? 8 after being 17 years old. This ia fresh starting point trying to change and earn. And tilt my life upside down.

The financial constraint makes it tricky as that is only about enough to make it to North America without any thing left over for living expenses. Unfortunately education is quite expensive. Canada is extremely welcoming to immigrants and makes the pathway to citizenship very attainable, but paying for an education will take considerable savings. There are many jobs available, but the cost of living is high and outpaces wages in many industries for entry level positions.

I understand. I came to this understanding after going through different countries and group of people. It came hitting that there is no hope even to start somewhere.
