As a Canadian citizen/Passport holder you can return to Canada at any time without requiring approval. You can apply to bring your partner with you under the Spousal Sponsorship programme. He does not have to apply for PR status. From application to permission should take no more than 3-6 months. If you are not married you will require to prove that you have lived in a common-law relationship for at least one year. This is done by providing joint copies of mortgage/rent/utilities/credit card payments etc.
I don't fully understand your comments about job opportunities for graduates. What will be your degree? University education is an important factor in employment in Canada but a great deal depends on how your degree can be applied.
