Does MEng courses require research experience? work experience vs research paper

[kartz]

I am planning to apply for university of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Regina for a thesis non-research based MEng. I have 3yrs of work experience in materials engineering analysis in aerospace domain, Bachelors in mechanical engineering 60% in india. I have published research papers but not in any international journals. I have a good work experience and research publishings which are not in international journals.

What is the value of work experience vs research paper publishing while applying for MEng?

Is there any success stories of people without research experience but good work experience getting admitted in a MEng course in these universities?

Research experience doesn't matter much while applying for M.ENg program because generally it is a course based program. But your low percentage might hamper ur chances for getting admission. Apply anyway and hope for the best.

So what is that one critical criterion that can make or break your chances for a MEng course? Is it only academics?

In that case how helpful is relevant technical work experience(from india) in a MEng application? It has no value?

What i have learn is that canadian universities generally give more weightage to academics.
Rest its luck, apply and see it if get in.
