I am an architect, I have been working as architect designer for 8 years, to design various kinds of buildings, and also to inspector the work in the site. I like designing the most. but maybe it wouldn't enable me for many opportunities, I don't know!! if so, then I would have to change the carrier

I would like to know firstly if the master or diploma is better for me
then I would like to know which program is good for my future work.

If u like design and stuff, then perhaps u should stick to what u are good at. Engineering jobs are easier to come by and have a higher demand in Canada, so if u want to get employed at a faster rate, this could be a good option. If u already have a bachelors degree, and if u plan to upgrade, then go for masters in engineering if u qualify, or else, go for a program which takes around 2 to 3 yrs. Most Bachelors engine program takes 4 to 5 yrs to complete. So the choice is actually all yrs to consider.

Thanks a lot for your advise
I already have a bachelors in Architecture, and I want to choose between getting a diploma 2 years or do the master for 2 years as well
I don't what is best option for me to get good opportunities for work in "Canada" NOT in my home-country.

If u want to stay and work in Canada, then u r probably better off taking a Diploma in Engineering or u could opt for Masters In engineering if u qualify for the engineering masters program. U can check on the universities or colleges in those provinces that u plan to go to. For example, in Alberta, u can choose btw NAIT or SAIT for engineering Diplomas and then U of C or U of A for Engineering masters. Of course, u will need to check of u qualify for those masters program, if u dont then opt for the Engineering Diplomas instead cause either the Dip or the Masters will take only 2 yrs but Bachelors program will require to do it in 4 yrs or so!
