MASc: Master of Applied Science. But yes, essentially an MS. I am alone.
I think if you max out IELTS you can sit pretty at 484 and not have to worry about losing points for age. I mean then even if you lose points for age, you should still remain competitive for a couple of years.
Yeah, when there's almost no one to write IETLS (very very few) and when obtaining an ECA now becomes an arduous task now, you guys speculate the score to be 470 forever.
It's a pity that the logic seems lost on you.
Don't waste your time. People have tried to reason with him, he waves them off on the basis of negativity and comes up with fictional illogical numbers in the name of positivity
Yes. Simple math would disprove his atrocious claims. While FSW candidates have to be hopeful, there is no good reason to mislead others with baseless calculations. The current data support the claim that candidates are joining the pool at a good rate despite the interruptions in the IELTS operations in the different parts of the world. Realistically speaking, anyone whose score is higher than 470 has a good shot at an ITA once the score settles down after a few general draws.
This is off-topic, but you shouldn't go for a PhD if it isn't fully-funded. If a department doesn't offer you funding it means they don't really want you there.
Exactly. The opportunity cost is not worth it if you're not being fully funded.
Provinces don't issue LMIAs. Those are handled by Employment and Social Development Canada (a federal agency).
You said that already. Thrice this week if my memory serves right. It's amazing you keep "hearing just" now and keep reposting it.
