MS in Electrical / Telecommunication engineering in Canada

[sksincanada]

Hello,

I completed my Bachelors in Technology (Engineering) in 2012. I am preparing for GRE and TOEFL so as to get a good University in Canada for MS. I have certain doubts an queries. I would be very helpful for me and I'll highly appreciate if someone would answer the following questions.

1. Taking into considerations some facts such as immediate employment after post-graduation, Which all are the best Universities for the MS in electrical / telecommunication engineering (province-wise) ?

2. Which province has the maximum job opportunities in the field of electrical engineering (Telecom & IT in particular) ?

3. Considering my field of study, Which province can provide me an easy PR? In other words, Which province should I prefer for the MS such that I get the PR easily?

First GRE IS NOT REQUIRED FOR MOST OF UNVERSITIES IN ELECTRICAL and COMPUTER ENGINEERING.

only required for tornonto, McGill, mcmaster and Concordia I think.

1)Toronto,waterloo,mcgill,mcmaster,UBC

2)vacnouver (british Columbia) and Ontario

3)check the first post by tiger......It gives all the details about pr

Thanks bro!!

I've a medium academic background (65% in Btech) so I thought GRE would give me some edge over others.

 

[vikram_singh]

oi 65% means most of the universities will reject you .............. try applying to low ranked univ..........try Concordia,windsor,UNB,MNF, and few colleges

Hi,

Most Canadian universities need atleast B grade or minimum 60% in final 2 years of a 4 years Bachelor's degree for students from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria etc. and an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (with no bands less than 6)(some may require IELTS score of overall 7)/ equivalent score of TOEFL also accepted in most universities for being eligible to apply to Master degree programs.
You can pursue a course based master degree (M.Eng) OR a research oriented, thesis based MaSc. degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related fields. The research based degrees are usually much more competitive, where one generally needs to show some knack for research (like published papers) and selected students usually get partial or full funding.

Most universities DO NOT require GRE (atleast when it comes to Master degrees in Electrical engineering/ Electrical & computer Engineering / related fields ). Some specific programs/departments may require GRE/GMAT (known as additional requirements). GRE is NOT part of standard admission requirements, as it is in the American universities. On the other hand GMAT is a standard requirement for admissions to the Canadian public university MBAs. Academic marks in Bachelor's is the single biggest criteria for admission to Canadian Engineering Master degrees. Higher the B.Tech scores, better it is.

Although, you may additionally show a very high GRE score, to make your overall application package stronger, especially when applying for those highly competitive research degrees, which are fully or atleast partially funded.

You can see general rankings of Canadian universities to get an overall general idea.. as to which universities are reputed.
For example: http://www.university-list.net/canada/rank/univ-7007.htm
www.4icu.org/ca/

Here's the list of ALL recognized Canadian educational institutes eligible for OCWP+PGWP, listed according to province:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp

You should try applying to mid level universities.

You need to go through the university department websites, contact the university departments to know more such as course content, graduate degree options, deadlines, tuition fees, admission procedure etc. You will have to do the hard work to find the right type of programs of your desire and shortlist a list of say atleast 4-6 more universities, you may consider applying to.

The application submission date for Fall 2013 (Sept) start in most universities is already long over, and you should consider applying for 2014 Fall intake, for which usually the last date can be anywhere between Nov 1 2013 (for research based programs) to Feb 1 2014 (for course based programs).


Best of Luck.

Hi sksincanada, have you decided which university you are going to apply? I am also planning for the same Masters in Telecommunication Engineering. Can you share your current status with me?

My profile
X - 77%
XII - 65%
Btech - 64% 2012 batch
Ielts - 7 bands

Not a vry strong profile, even I'm confused where to apply

 

[Adhav]

I heard that Ontario and BC are better place for studying telecommunications as they have many relevant industries situated there..
I have 2 questions..

1.Does studying telecommunications in Ontario in an average university increase the chance of landing in a good telecom job rather than studying in better engineering university in some other province? say Alberta..
Any idea?

2.what job one can apply after doing MEng in Telecommunication/wireless comm. ?

 

[sksincanada]

Bro these r real time questions I think no one can actually predict it.. I am really confused about the universities.
