You should apply to a good University. College applicants are facing some delays in visa process.

Will it be easy to get admission in university compared to college?

Well nothing is easy but if you have the passion and work for sometime on your case then you will get in. Share your profile so that I get the clue what you want to do and what are your academic standing.

I did 2 years bachelors and 2 years masters in Mathematics.

10th: 72 %
12th: 74 %
Bachelors 2 year: 70 %
Masters 2 years: 76%

I want to do Phd from Canada. Do I qualify?

Your percentages are good and chances are good that you will get into some good Canadian University. As your academic studies are only 16 years so you don't qualify for Phd directly. You will have to study for 2 years (Masters) and then you will be able to do Phd.

It is the same, here in Pakistan if you are going for Phd then you will have to do 2 years of study in M.Phil. In Canada this M.Phil is somewhat M.S. In other words your time will not be wasted at all.

You should apply to Masters in some universities. check this link and find a university that is most suited to you interms of ranking, course, fee etc. http://www.4icu.org/ca/

Can I apply for Fall 2012 now?

No, the deadline for Fall 2012 is over. You should hurry up to apply for Winter 2013 as its deadline are approaching shortly. You can find the exact deadlines and details on the universities websites.

Hurry up otherwise you will be going to be applying for Fall 2013.

The link you shared is helpful. Do I need to take IELTS?

The link you shared is helpful. Do I need to take IELTS?

Yes, IELTS is the requirement of almost every university. You can take both IELTS/TOEFL exam to prove your english proficiency. However, it is advised from visa point of view to take IELTS exam and score atleast 6.5. Good university requires IELTS around 7 plus. Work for it and score good. Believe me it is not difficult.

Best of luck,

Well most of guys do it but it is not a best practice. In the checklist of CHC Islamabad it is explicitly mentioned not to do so.

Quote: "It is normally advisable to wait until you receive the letter of authorisation to study in Canada from the
Embassy before paying tuition fees and finalising travel plans."

Paying full fees in no way increase ur chances,,beside this mostly colleges demand advance fees,,and u can see the google sheet that plenty of college students r waiting for even medical call and most of them had paid atleast one semester fees ,on the other hand,university students are getting medical calls and visas while most of them they have not paid even a penny towards fees,
chc isl checklist also suggest u not to pay fees before getting study permit until it is required by college to issue LOA
