I would really appreciate if this question is answered by some of the industry professionals with offices in Europe, Canada and the U.S. I am a recent B.Arch graduate from India , and have been applying for masters in the above mentioned countries since the last month. My possible admittance to any institute will be in Sep 2019, and hence I have about a year to train and practice in my home country. My predicament really is that the way we practice architecture here ( India) is very different from countries in the west. Form , expression , material and the software used are either different or advanced. I really want to have a solid skill set by the time I reach a foreign country and want to be employable. Can anyone advice me on what kind of -
1) Software skills
2)Modeling skills
3) Other skills
are needed for me to become a trained professional there. Right now, I am well versed in the following software- Autocad, Photoshop, Revit and Lumion.
Q2- Is there anyway for me to get some outsourcing projects , so that I can show that as a reference for my experience in international architecture.
I am really confused as to do I even join an Indian firm or put all my time and energy into studying international projects and freelancing.
Let me know what you guys think

I did not imply anything about program quality Ricky. Just noting the recent surge of Indian B.arch students posting here looking to NA and Europe. Canada has reciprocity with several Indian architecture programs, I assume several similar compliance paths exist in Europe too.

Ricky, I love the idea of you traveling to India to complete an acceptable architecture degree (acceptable under the CACB, commonwealth devision) in order to qualify for intern architect in BC. Tangential to this, I do not know what qualifies as exempt buildings in BC, nor am I aware of the process, if any, one needs to take in order to offer design services for the sake of building permit.
