HI FRNDS I AM LOOKING UP FOR UNIVERSITIES IN CANADA FOR AEROSPACE ENGG. AND ALSO THE REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATION OF THE UNIVERSITIES!!!
I ALSO WANNA KNOW IF AEROSPACE HAS A GOOD JOB VALUE ???
Hi,
Aerospace engineering is a specialized field, and there are quiet a few number of universities offering graduate programs (Master's) in this field.
Montréal is a top international center for aerospace and is the cradle of the industry in Québec as well as all of Canada. The Montréal area is home to several prestigious multinationals, which have attracted a host of secondary service and supply companies.

Two of very reputed Aerospace engineering programs are offered in Montreal, Quebce at:
Mc-Gill university (top grade, one of best in Canada) -

Concordia university -

Univ. of Toronto, perhaps the most reputed and top ranked university of Canada also offers Master programs in Aerospace Engineering.

Apart from these, Reyerson Unviersity in ontario also offers this specialized field of study at graduate level.

Carleton univ also offers Master's in Mech-Aerospace engineering.

To find more such degrees, visit official websites of other universities. Here's the list of ALL recognized Canadian educational institutes eligible for OCWP+PGWP, listed according to province:

To get into top grade universities, you are expected to have an excellent academic record.
You can see general rankings of Canadian universities.. not accurate but gives you an overall idea.. as to which universities are reputed:
www.4icu.org/ca/
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. Since Aerospace engineering is offered by few universities, you should consider applying to related branches such as Mechanical engineering. Almost all major public universities offer graduate programs in Mech.
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).
Also, most Canadian universities need atleast B grade or minimum 60%-65% (depending on the university) in final 2 years of a 4 years Bachelor's degree for students from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria etc. and an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (with no bands less than 6)(some top grade universities 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. Academic marks in Bachelor's is the single biggest criteria for admission to Canadian Engineering Master degrees. Higher the Bachelor degree scores, better it is.
You can pursue a course based master degree (M.Eng) OR a thesis based/ applied research degree MaSc. degree in Mechanical 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.
Hope it helps.
Best of Luck.
