Northeastern University Toronto

[Alethia]

Hi all, I’m planning to apply for Master Science in project management Northeastern University Toronto(US-based university having a satellite campus in Toronto). It is a two year programme and provide three years stay back as per the DLI list and is also mentioned in the same. But, In the IRCC website it has mentioned as below (foreign campuses don’t count). Has anyone studied/studying at Northeastern University Toronto and applied for PR. Could someone please clarify the same if Northeastern is a foreign campus or not. If I study there would I be able to claim points for Canadian PG studies


4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?
Note: to answer yes:

• English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
• you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
• you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
• you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months

I think what they mean is that " you shouldn't have studied from a Canadian University campus located the outside Canada).

But you can always email the college and ask because per my knowledge, if it is a DLI institution, you should be eligible

Thank you for replying.
I have enquired with the college. However they are not sure about it. They were mentioning that they might have to check with a immigration lawyer

Thank you for the revert. But would we get points for studying there. I guess studying Masters at Canada would provide us some points while applying for PR.

Hello Everyone,
I see all are curious about Northeastern Univesity, Well I have got admission from the same university for MS in Project Management (Fall 2020).
It is a newly opened university in Canada and very less information is available on the Internet. But it is DLI approved university by the federal government, and accredited by PMI institution. I am not a consultant or an agent to talk in favor of or misguide you. I have already studied in Canada for two years and looking further to continue MS in PM (Construction Management Concentration).
and yes You can claim Points for PR and get a PGWP of 3 years.

if anyone would like to share information or want to connect with me to discuss more please email me on autade.a@husky.neu.edu

It’s a satellite campus for a US university. They likely rented a few lecture rooms somewhere or classes will be streamed.

Search through the forums, generally not recommended.

I was looking into their programs a few months ago and my conclusion is this is a TOTAL SCAM. They don't have a campus, all they have is some rented space in a building downtown. No information available *anywhere* about professors, costs, etc. Basically all the details. I called them phone no. which led to the US Northeastern. They had no idea what I was referring to and said they would get back to me on the Toronto campus program. Never did.

They are just leeching off the Northeastern brand. My opinion is that it is a total waste of money, Proceed at your own peril.

Yes it is remote/ satellite location at Toronto.

Alert for those who want full PGWP work permit successfully. Chances are; might be students will get only 1 year /2 year (who knows) work permit. All because of 4 problems:

1. Remote campus operated by US so online class or only 1 lecturer at spot!
2. Lecture in the evening or online!
3. No student advisory available at location. They are not keeping any Immigration adviser at spot because they know the weak point on work permit issue will happen and they try to say; we cant answer immigration question because we dont know the rules. they basically ignore the facts.
4. Only 3 subjects per semester. 1 subject delivery is 100% planned online. other 2 subject will be in class (but in video lectures-stream from US). so less than 10 credit a semester, less than 10-15 hours in a semester.

CANADA GOVT. has issued already warning to students; those places who give many online lectures, you are in danger to get PGWP.
CANADA GOVT. has issued already warning to students; to study in any non-Canadian institution.

This is a new university in Canada. it’s in Toronto since 2016, and 2020 it’s the first year they accept international students.

It's a degree mill.
