@Enfield,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

@vugupta

The initial duration is the same for both the courses. 2 years.

Since thesis based programs require to publish a thesis it preparations need time time and if you don't plan it accordingly you may end up taking more than 2 years to complete the course and paying more as tuition whereas project based can be finished in time. Employers give more preference to a project than a thesis when it comes to MEng.



Why don't you try Alberta or Calgary, universities which are way better than Regina?

Good Luck!

thanks for replying...

i was trying u of regina and sask.. due to their PR easy rules that you have to do job in any sector for 6 months wheather it is relevant to your education or not than after i will be eligible to file PR......

plz guide if i may be wrong

Oh Ok.
Good Luck with dt!
I don't think it'd be tht difficult for u to find a job coz apparently u hv a good profile n considerable work experience..also i believe u of regina provides internship option in the curriculum whc is a really gud opportunity to gain sme solid canadian experience..so u shd utilize it to the maximum..

 

[nickmarques]

word of advice:
Don't just take the PR rules of Canada for granted. It keeps changing from time to time in a very obscure level. So keep track of tht. I dont mean to scare u, just stating sme facts before u leave for saskateshwan (excuse me for the poor spelling ). Also the place is notorious for its crime rates in the recent years. Google it and check the stats with the canandian immigration. So make sure u find a suitable accomodation before u leave.
As far as your profile is concerned u r pretty much in the safe zone with ur exp n degrees. All u need to do is concentrate on ur grades and maintain a good GPA thruout d course and lead urself to the ultimate goal of PR.

Cheers

[nickmarques]

You wll have to produce the bank statement only at the time of the visa interview. You should show a minimum of 15000-20000 CAD depending on the university.
Apply to the universities and wait till u get the admission acceptance letters.
