Suggest me. Urgent!!!

[Dave121]

Hello guys,
My aim is to go to Canada. But, I don't know which course to do.

Here are my academic qualifications:
Bcom - 51%
MBA Finance - 56%
More than 3 years of work experience (Finance)
IELTS - 7.5

While I search, I find most of the courses are related to science/engineering field. I am looking for something relevant to my previous studies.

I have visited a couple of consultants and they have suggested me MGM (Masters of Global Management) program from RRU (Royal Roads University) in Victoria, British Columbia. My concern is that I haven't come across any good reviews about that institute. Also, no reviews from the alumnus about the scope and pay after completion of the course. Also, people say most of the good reviews are either fake or paid ones. I also heard that many consultants have tie ups with that institute and they need to complete the requirement of sending students to them.

Is there any scope of this degree after completion of this program?

Or else, please suggest me some universities and courses where I could apply.
Please don't tell me to get a Phd or apply directly for work visa or to apply to any other country. I want to get a valuable degree from that country before working. Thank you!

Anyone? Please.

No offense, but with 56% in your MBA, it will be extremely difficult to gain admission into a Masters program at a reputable university in Canada. Royal Roads is a lower ranked university and it is an open university, meaning anyone can gain admission, so you have a chance there. Reputable universities in Canada require at least 70%+ to gain admissions into their Masters programs.

Otherwise, you can pursue a Post graduate diploma at a college, and colleges accepts anyone that can pay. However, pursuing a PG diploma when already having a Masters is not very reasonable, so you might need a strong SOP to back it up.

Thank you for your reply. But can you please tell which colleges will accept a masters student?
I heard that the visas of such students are rejected because of pursuing a degree which is lower than they currently have.
What is the scope after completing such pg courses from a college? How much are they paid? And what is the age of students who pursue such courses? I am already 29 years old, so don't want to be the oldest student in the class

To figure out the job opportunities try and go to the various job websites and see what it being advertised and what salary is being offered.
Getting a job will depend mostly on networking & experience and not on your credentials.

I suspect there wont be too much difference between a masters from a no name school & PG, since you don't have any Canadian experience you might need to start near the bottom anyway. 29 is not that old while most people are young there are plently of 30 and some 40 year olds.

While I agree that credentials alone won't get you a job, I do know that the choice of which university to attend is important.
When you attend a reputable university, you have access to top tier professors that you can add to your network and this is invaluable.
On top of that, the university itself also have networks and you also have access to that. A good network is the biggest aspect of finding a successful job.

Thanks respectable sir's. That information is really useful.

So, will you suggest me to join RRU? Will I get a good job after that or what kind of job can I get after MGM? My marks are low to be considered for top 10 universities.

Is Victoria a good place with job opportunites or would you suggest me to move to Vancouver or Ontario after my degree?

I agree that networking is the key to get a job. Will networking at RRU or in Victoria help in getting a good job?

In your case, RRU is probably your best choice. When it comes to finding a good job, that depends on you. RRU is a decent university, so you will have access to a decent network there. However, it is up to you how well you can make use of the network. You need to make a good resume, get the required skills for your field and nail those interviews. These are the things you need to do.
