Hello from Karachi, Pakistan :) May I have your attention, please?

[ImHassan]

Guys...

This is Hassan, a 25 years old graduate from Karachi, Pakistan.

I did bachelors in Business Administration (16 years completed) from Iqra University with 3.27 CGPA...

I now intend to look for study visa of Canada.

I have explored some of the options by myself...Since you guys are quite experienced and may have gone through the process of study visa...I will surely want to take advice from you.

I am actually confused.

My first question:-

I have now two options being a Bachelor.

1 - Masters of one/two years in Canada
2 - Post graduate Certificate/diploma of one/two year in Canada.

Please tell me which one from above two is gonna best in getting me student visa successfully.

Also second thing is by reading other threads/posts...I came to know that getting student visa by admitting to college is quite difficult compared to being admitted in university....Is it true?

Third thing is How do you rate Simon Fraser university and University of Saskatchewan...Will they prove to be helpful in getting me student visa?

Fourthly, I want to remain there in Canada after studying....will look for job simultaneously while studying and then will like to give application of work permit ( to extend it ).......The problem is will visa official in Pakistan after hearing this during interview still approve my student visa? because I have read that they want/ask confirmation from student to return to their home country after completion of studies and failure to provide that promise can get rejection to your student visa. Is it true?

Thanks for reading this. I will be thankful to you if you reply to all of my four queries. Hope these are not tricky questions

Peace.

You should go for a program that increases your prospects and consider visa second. I cannot provide you any hard numbers on whether a master's degree increases the probability of you getting a visa but from what I've read, yes, Master's students get approved more.

Again, yes, university offer play a favorable role in the visa process. Simon Fraser is better than Saskatchewan.

From your post, it seems you want to pick programs and schools based on whether you'll get a visa. Getting a visa is easier than making a life in a foreign country - your goal should be to pick programs that increase your prospects. You should research this and spend some considerable time on the matter. Suppose you pick a program that you don't like, you get your visa, you study and afterwards it's not easy for you to find a job. What was the point then? Basically, research on your own what you want to do/study. Research the visa process by reading past refusals on this website.

Haste makes waste.
