Scaria197 & lep- I’m wondering they only admit people with work exp? My undergrad score is 7.55 till 7th semester, with strong focus on Cybersecurity subjects. I had LORs from quote reputed faculty and my SOP was also decent. Do you think I stand a chance?

No. I just mentioned it fyi. The admission requirement doesn't ask for work exp. Btw I want to recommend you to show your insight in the field in SOP.

Already done! Fingers crossed, haha!
Also, I have one admit from UoGuelph MCTI Program. Do you have any info on how good that program is?

 

[lep]

No I don't. But i had a glimpse of MCTI curriculum and find it really solid.

Lep,
How is your visa process going?

Lep,
How is your visa process going?

I’m still in the final semester of my undergrad. So I’ll get my final transcript end June. And then as soon as visa/biometric offices reopen at my place, I’ll apply for a visa!

Thats great. Unfortunately, Australia isnt on SDS so it takes 5 weeks for study permits.

No I mean I'll start in May. It'll also take me ~7 weeks.

Oh ok. I thought SDS is quicker. All the best. With covid19 not sure how it will all play out for all of us.

Animesh, lep-
My friend asked me the other day the rakings for cybersecurity programs in Canada? I wasnt sure how they were all ranked. You guys know?

Hi there!,
Just needed some immediate help hence why I'm posting here.

I am currently renewing my study permit and have been asked to upload additional documents by the 21st of April. The upload tab shows these are required by the 21st as well as the letter i recieved from ircc. my question- does the time frame include the 21st, can I upload the documents on the 21st or will the upload option disappear?

COVID 19 is delaying the processing of said documents.
