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?
Pal dont give up on great unis. And I have just gone through admission process this year and had acceptance on scholarships in 11/11 unis in Hong Kong, America and Canada. There are big names in the list like McGill, Torronto, Alberta, waterloo, HKU, HKUST, NYU, Illinois etc. If I tell you that it aint that tough I mean it. Trust me.

Yeah I would mind :D . Look man my profile ain't super. The universities tell us they have competitive admissions because it is a matter of pride for them. If you want to get into a university you just have to make sure that your profile catches attention. With grades like yours you need a great personal statement that stands out. That is unique and displays your uniqueness. The universities are after unique talents of the students. That definitely ain't hard to display because we all are unique by birth.

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.
Hey you can hit top institues in Canada. Try Alberta, Ottawa Waterloo Toronto

First dont go for PG even if its two years.
target Masters program at universities.
you will be accepted try following universities.
Calgary, Regina, Sfu, Concordia and windsor.

Remember in Canada every university is very prestigious and well equipped. they are ranked due to there research intensive courses. otherwise you will have high standard of education in almost every Public funded university.

Getting admission in U o Sask and U o Regina is bit tough due to some reasons.

1. they have very low fees as compared to other Canadian universities
2. sask province has a Hugh amount of jobs and very friendly PR rules.
3. there are only two University in Sask province having world class research facilities and have excellent ratio of teacher to student 1/16

People from inside and outside of Canada apply to these institutes. universities had to maintain a limit of accepting students. simple they cant accept any one. so dont go to their ranking they are low in ranking due to less research activities (as any uni is ranked on the behalf of its research done), but they are very competitive in granting admission.

1. Queens
2. Manitoba
3. Western Ontario
4. British Colombia
5. Concordia
6. McMaster
7. Victoria
8. Memorial

These universities have my desired research groups and I think would be appropriate.
But I will apply 4-5 universities at most, so which ones do u suggest?

@UARSHAD

The Bank can grant only max 20 lac loan and in reality it is only 85% after keeping the margin

I dont have that much liquid money so i am relying only on this amount.

And yes, I am also believing that 2nd year Living Cost I would spend with the money earned while doing Part time jobs on/off campus.

Now , You can suggest some Univ , I have mentioned my profile also
