I have an issue with the Application form for visa made outside of canada, I am unable to type anything in the "province/State" field. Did anyone else experience this? what am I supposed to do about this?
I guess it is the section about current mailing address right? If the country is other than U.S or Canada the province state and postal code is not mandatory.

If you cannot type anything it means that it is not required. When a section is required it has a star with it and highlight with red box until you fill it.

Hi All,

I read various posts on this website and they have all been very helpful. I received an admit from Concordia University for Master of Applied Computer Science but my problem is that it does not have the thesis option. I plan to pursue research and obtain a Phd and I think universities will not allow me entry in a Phd program without a Masters thesis.

Can I transfer to Master of Science Computer Science from Master of Applied Computer Science?

If I can then can anyone guide me what are the steps involved?

I have been working in an IT MNC for the past 4 years and recently decided to go for higher studies.

Please suggest and give your valuable insights.

Thanks all!!

For MAsc you need a profesor who will supervise you for your research work.
For this one have to communicate with the profs over email and tell them about your past research and academics.Students do it wat before applying for Univ.
And some univ distrubute the files of candidates to all the faculty members for their recommendations and if any profs raise his interest in the file he gets MAsc and rest of people or most of people like you n me get MEng.

Thanks for the reply..

So now that I have received an admit for Master of Applied Computer Science does it mean that I cannot change it to another Masters degree like MS in Comp Sci which has thesis option.
I was under the impression that I can enroll in Concordia under the course offered(Master of Applied Computer Science) and then change my stream to the Masters course containing thesis option (MS in CS).
Can anyone provide insights about job prospects in Canada after completing Master of Applied Computer Science from Concordia??

Hi Lovedeep, when contacted my university to send a fee receipt for amount transferred they are saying they cannot send one till July by which it will be too late to apply for a visa. When I explain the stuation to them they are not being helpful.
In another thread here Sharjeel advised me to jus take a printout of the balance shown in my student account. Do you recommend this as well?
Thank you.

Which university you are into?
You didnt get any auto generated email?Check your university email account.I got auto generated email as well as manual receipt.
So check it.
And if there is no other option then you can take a print out of your student account.
