Hello,

Masters has a better job prospect over post graduate diploma. I would encourage this. The only thing is that it is ususally longer.
Masters is usually 2 years.

Project management is a good one. There is also an exam for project management that once you complete. It has a high return on investment and I think if you consider the time it takes, the return on investment is more than masters degree. I would say yes to this.

In terms of petroleum, I dont know anything much about that industry.

Thank you,

both are good courses but as you already done your engineering degree masters degree is better choice for you both for job prospectus and visa.

After completing my BE I joined IT industry ( As i was inteetsed in programming)in july 2007 and since then working....
IELTS Score 7.0

I've read most of the post from this forum and came to know about Study mismatch causing VISA rejections.

Will you please suggest on VISA chances for my profile? If loan is sanctioned planning for SPP else general procedure.

Thank you very much in advance.

RN, i guess u do not have a thorough understanding of the job market in Canada these days! In fact, a Masters degree may be a hindrance at times, especially for one without work experience! In fact, the employment rate for Diploma holders with good technical skills are more employable in Canada in many provinces now, this is a developed country, not developing country like many in Asia. The job market is entirely different from India, Bangaldash or any of those developing countries where the higher educated the better or more employable u are! Get this clear before any advice is rendered without substantial proof or Canadian job market knowledge!
