    Scotiabank START RIGHT for int. student

    Maybe he's not lying dude, we don't know the full circumstances. He could PR student, perhaps he go in on a family plan and his family was already settled here. Maybe a close relative of his works at CIBC. 7000 is alot though. I'd be happy with a $2000-3000 limit. I've emailed all the banks...

    Scotiabank START RIGHT for int. student

    Josh, have you personally had a bad or restricted experience with CIBC? So far, it seems it depends on the branch official your talking to, so just pure luck. I'd like to go for CIBC, because I've been ATM searches, and CIBC has the closest one to my university.

    mba in canada

    1. You're right. It's very hard to find a job in Canada without Canadian credentials. You can read so many sob stories on this forum. 2. If you don't have 2 years of WE, no business school will accept you into their MBA program. Guaranteed. If you do have 2 years, choice is up to you. You'll...

    mba in canada

    I agree work experience is essential, but you have to realize, work experience not gained in North American doesn't mean squat when you start looking for a job in Canada/US. Unless you have worked in some major multinationals, North American companies would rather look at small internships...

    mba in canada

    You should not be discouraged in going for you MBA. Let's be realistic, 90% of international student go to study in Canada with the dual aim of getting PR. With that in mind, getting a generic masters degree would not prove as useful or marketable in the market as an MBA. The scenario that...

    DARKEST SIDE OF TRUTH

    My girl friend got a 710 and was offered a 10k scholarship at Rotman, which is nothing when you look at the total fees. I scored 680 and got no scholarship. A friend of ours scored 750 and got a 60k scholarship. Draw your own conclusions. You can take GMAT multiple times, they will only...

    I'll share my story, if its worth anything. Having been out of PK, I was holding a non-computerized passport at the start of this year, which was to expire in early 2015. Before submitting my application to CHC Colombo, I emailed them and asked them about my case, they said I should get in...

    which MBA is better (irrespective of PR)

    Canada has a total 31 accredited MBA programs. MBAs in Canada are divided into Tiers, with Tier 1 being the most successful and well-regarded programs and Tier 5 being the weakest programs. e.g. Tier 1 (Ivey, McGill, Rotman), Tier 2 (Schulich, McMaster, Alberta, Calgary) and so on. Out of...

    APPLICANTS --> September intake---> 2013----> PAKISTAN---> Islamabad CIC

    The reasoning is that Pakistan possibly does not have medical verification facilities that CHC trusts or associates with. The process is similar to many countries. For example, I'm applying from Sri Lanka and have been told that once I have given the medical (Waiting on the request :-X) the...
