Hi all ,

Below is my profile –
B. Tech.  8.64 CGPA
12th  82.8
10th  91.9
IELTS  7.5 Bands (R – 7.5, S – 7.5, L – 7.5, W – 6.5)

Work Experience – 6 months internship, 19 months in Vodafone India and Nokia India

Certifications – CCNA, Red hat Cloud Computing

Universities Applied –
UBC
McMaster University (Rejected)
University of Ottawa
University of Windsor

I left with 3 Universities now. Can anyone please tell me how much time above universities will take for final decision? And please suggest if require to apply in some other university.
 
You have a decent profile, yet University if Windsor is not that reputed for its ECE program. I hope you kept it as a safe option. University of Ottawa is moderate , but there decisions are selective and only benefit is of location. UBC would obviously be an ambitious univ. All the universities decisions would be rolling out soon tho. Universities you should have applied to- University of Victoria, Concordia University, Queens University, Univesity of Calgary, Carleton University. Uvic's ECE program for co-op is one of the best and its cheap too, I wonder why you did not consider that. Rest would have been mod to ambi. as universities are rolling out few admits as of yet.
Hope it helps!!
All the best!!

Thanks navnoor . I keep Windsor as a safe option . UBC is my top priority . Can you pls tell my if I apply in UVic although deadlines are over .
 
Uvic's industrial option deadline was on 15 january. But you can still apply to thesis program, but need to contact a supervisor prior to completing the online application. If you can get in contact with any professor and get the recommendation, then you would have an admit for sure.

You have a good profile I think you can into UBC, Ottawa or Windsor. If you do not feel confidence apply to Ryerson, i do not know if the deadline is over or how much time will pass until they give you an answer

If you look to rankings you will find Ottawa > Ryerson > Windsor
