Does admission in a private university in Canada instead of public affect visa approval chances?
I got an admission in an American university which has it's campus in Canada.
The university is ranked good in America though.

A private University will not get you a PGWP. Kindly post the link stated on cic website.

Yeah but how do we know which University qualifies for sure? Unless cic has a list of private Universities degrees that will make you qualify to apply for a PGWP, one should stick to the public ones.

to check if a college or uni is qualified, look for the yes in the last column: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...re/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

just search for your college/uni (either private or public).
 
Avoid private if possible, they are just money sucking enterprises and get zero respect from employers.

I have already attained admission in a private American university that has a campus in Canada. Of course it was due to some certain unavoidable reasons.
