I have contacted the Electrical Engineering program coordinator in University of Alberta a couple of months back. She informed me that University of Alberta is not accepting MEng candidate for 2013 and 2014. This is the exact line I got from Nona McDonagh in June. "At this time the department...

Adding to other friends, you can actually renew your passport anytime you want. You dont have to wait for your passport to expire to apply for a renewed passport. I would suggest you to apply with a renewed passport to be on the safe side. Its only going to cost you a few thousand rupees but...

Dear Friend, a fellow in engineer here :) I am also in Offshore Oil & Gas / Marine sector. I incidentally have never flown to north america but have been other places pretty much. So Inam would be holding a visa for Canada which would not require him to apply for an airside transit in schengen...

Inam congratulations on your visa. You were one of the most deserving guys, still it was a tough road for you. My wishes are with you. Regarding transiting in europe, I would advice you NOT to do it. I have traveled to Latin america / Carribean Islands and to Euorpe and I think you might face...

You have shared your academic profile, and it seems reasonable. But since the VO has mentioned about your studies and home ties, please let us know how much bank statement did you show? Also did you show your home ties in the application? What does BDS stand for? I am not from India so I am not...

I haven't seen many student around here applying to University of Saskatchewan even though is quite competitive financially? Anybody got info on this as to why? One of my friends in Canada said that it may be because they usually don't accept international student in their graduate programs. Can...

GRE and GMAT are both very similar tests in some ways and very different in other ways. Usually you have to look at which program you are applying for and what there requirements are ? Usually business schools require you to take GMAT, but very few business schools do accept GRE as well...

Thanks buddy. Just a minor thingy that I am from IIEE, hope you have heard about it. So the transcripts will be issued from IIEE itself and is not a big problem (almost half of the clerical staff is on my buddy list ;) ). Its just the degree from NED which was a bigger problem. I guess I will...

Thanks Inam, so its basically a photocopy which is endorsed by the university itself and then sealed in an envelope? Does the envelope need to be university's official with logo etc or a standard envelope would be fine ?

Thanks Khan for the very useful info. But is this process you mentioned for the transcript or the degree?

Well, as the question says; I can request for a copy of my transcript in a sealed envelope. But how do I produce an 'official copy' or my degree ? Is it just a photocopy that is notarized? Anyone in the NED alumni can help me out here? Thanks

Very well said Inam !! I have immense respect for you. You have been very helpful and guiding a lot a prospective Canadian students on this forum. When I saw your profile, I wasn't surprised in the least bit to find you a straight As student. I wish you all the best and pray that all your...

Hi Vijay, I don't see why you can't apply. Looking at this wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_India I can see that you hold a First Class which is the minimum requirement for quite a number of Universities. Please do remember that a lot of times when they...

I visited you page. Even though its early days, I can see the information you have posted is quite good. Keep up the good work !!

Hi Guys, Just an info for everybody. Yesterday I spoke to one of the guys who did his Masters from University of Alberta. He told me that the issuance of Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) is based on the length of program defined in the curriculum and not on how long you take to pass it. For...

Where do you live? There is a very high possibility that you can get the international driving permit from the same office where you got your driving license. You just need Photographs, Passport, Application fee (Around 100 RS) and atleast one visa stamped on your passport.

I also have quite extensive travel history and am confused if it is a plus or a minus. Lets see if you can get some more educated responses. Now my apologies Nedian for hacking your thread :) Hey Hi ss789, I guess you are one of the few Pakistanis aiming for Rotman. Aiming for either Rotman...

Dear Mr. Waseem, Many thanks for the input. The advice about putting in 10 best factors for my University is definitely very insightful. :) Do you know any profiles of people who have done this before? Cheers, Joji

Yes, you can get an international driving permit from Pakistan. I would recommend everyone who is flying abroad to get one. Its very simple. As far as Karachi goes, you just go to the License office (nazimabad or clifton) with your Photographs, Original License, Passport and atleast one visa...

That is an excellent suggestion. Thank you for that. I looked up a couple of universities that offer this course it does look quite promising. I will do some homework on it and see if it suits my aptitude. The thing is I don't want to pick up a degree just so that I can get to Canada. The...
