Hi all,

Canada doesn't easily recognize degrees from other countries was always in my mind.

I graduated in Mech. Engineering from India and then took pains of doing MBA from UK (My School is ranked among world's top 30).

Any inputs on if Canada job market would recognize it as it does MBA from USA?

regards

M.Eng from India

MBA from U.K

Your MBA qualification may be recognized (I doubt the Indian will be recognized) but getting a job will be a challenge. you will either be asked for Canadian work experience or they'll tell you are over qualified for the job. So the chances are you'll have to settle for a survival job or a job thats pays lower than what you originally made and actually went to University for. Let us know if you have made any progress and please share your story so that we can learn if you've done somehting different.

It can be problematic if you are comparing yourself to someone who has Canadian work experience. Which is why its important to do some sort of internship/ work study program while studying so that you have something to show after your graduate. Otherwise there are a lot of A and A+ students with no work experience and with the current economic situation companies are willing to hire people on whom they will spend the least amount of money for training.

No, I mean that If I have volunteer work experience in Canada, will the company be ok with it?

Depends on the company but I personally think it should be counted, volunteer work is basically work without pay
