8 months course or MBA

[Rani5853]

Hi ,

I have a bachelor's degree in business and information systems.I've been working since then for 5 years.

I have received an offer letter for a 8 months post graduate program in GBC for entrepreneurship management and a MBA program of 2 years from University of Canada West.

Which one is a good option in terms of a Visa approval success ?

Anyone can suggest

Thanks in advance

An MBA is generally better than any sort of graduate diploma/certificate in terms of study permit approval after you've been out of school for several years, although I will note that UCW is a private institution whose extremely low admission requirements should tell you it is not reputable among Canadian employers.

1.if you ask for school, i find GBC has an edge over UCW. file in SDS catagory.

2. Check you fee structure, i dnt know abt MBA at UCW fee but other universities has fee as high as $1,25,000.

3.Another important aspect is PGWP. 8 months program will give you one year of work permit. And after 2 years of MBA, you'll be eligible for 3 yrs PGWP.

Hi ,thank you so much for your reply!

I also received an offer from cape Breton University for supply chain management but I do not have any experience in supply chain is it a good program to go for ?

I always wonder out of all the wonderful MBA programs in Canada somehow students end up applying to UCW MBA, the worst one out there. They must have some great marketing strategy

Supply chain is a decent program at Cape Breton and its a public university. I personally think that visa chances are on higher side for Nova Scotia,
You need to showcase your motive of studying supply chain.

For example if you are in business for last 5 years and now u feel that u need to understand supply chain deeply and thoroughly so as to take your business to new heights with added value through improved supply chain.

Because they charge a fraction of what the actual universities do, and it doesn't cross anyone's mind that that they're cheap for a reason.

I especially love the fact that their tuition deposit is $8000

They also give offer letter in 5 days now and admissions requirements are pretty low I personally have a offer letter from UCW ,GBC and cape Breton still considering which one to go for

Well that seems reasonable thanks ! maybe I'll consider it but I've been changing my jobs often but I do feel even in these harsh times supply chain is booming

Before you proceed with the SCM option, you should be aware that it does not match with your previous education and could be identified as a reason to give you a refusal. To be honest, out of the 3 in terms of visa approval chances, the MBA is your best option. I think can target better options but I don't know your situation.

Thanks I was going to go for the MBA program even though the University isn't great
