You first need to understand that one a person is working, he always considers his work to be very hard. This is natural psyche. Your consultant is doing the same thing. These guys over-rate the admission process. The result of which is people don't apply to better unis thinking they won't get admission. That is a terrible approach. Inam is right. Apply in mid-tier unis. If want to, you can apply in some college/s. The compitition is easy. Especially when you can show them that you are unique. If you cant, still its easy.

CONSULTANTS GET COMMISION FROM COLLEGES they will say all sort of crap to convince u to go for them.

make a list like

Dream
Reach
safe....

safe would be like university of new brunswick , UNBC
Reach might be ryerson, dalhousie, university of manitoba

u can always apply to colleges, try a university first and yes VISA chances r way better for uni students..!!

one more thing many provinces have a great scheme to get a PR after ur masters without any job offer ...

 

[angadi]

i decided to apply for dalhousie university, carleton university and one more university. in case if i couldn't hit any one of these should i go for a post secondary program in college. would that pose a problem for my visa as i already completed my undergraduation

 

[harsh_mba]

if u have completed undergrad studies go for a advanced diploma ...lik a post grad diplomma...!! (V V IMP)

 

[angadi]

my consultant is insisting me on applying only for colleges (post-secondary programs). hez saying that my academic percentage would not meet the masters program requirement.

Of course academic percentage is a BIG criteria in Canada, another is publication.
University of Calgary requires IELTS 7.0 for CS department.

My CGPA is 3.43 (Final two year 3.60), Computer Science, BUET.
I am worrying where do I suit
My favorite subjects are: Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Networking and Artificial Intelligence.

B.Tech - 74% electronics
IT Work ex - 2 years in SAP QA
IELTS - yet to give
Want to pursue MAsters or 2 year PG in IT/CS

I am concerned dat whether univ wil acept My application as there should be relevant background to pursue even course based Masters in CS/IT... i.e. ideally graduation should be in IT related stream bt lets see as I have work ex as well... Could u please confirm ?

Momi and Harsh - You guys have already replied that I have to contact individual Univ dept so is there any format of mail which you think will be easy for them to assess and give tentative idea , i mean what should i exactly mention in my mail to them - profile info and B.Tech- Electronics Subjects releated to Computers along with Marks ????

Confirmed. You have very low chances of rejection in any university of Canada. Now make an application strategy. How many you would like to apply to etc. I would say 2 top unis, 1 mid uni, 1 low uni. Good luck..

I mailed to a professor @Saskatchewan earlier, she said she will look after only if I get admission. Then I mailed to the grad section with my profile, he suggested not to apply because the competition is very tough there.
So it's not that easy anymore.
I am targeting some mid ranked universities now.
Can you suggest some?
