Sry dun hav much idea abt colleges...but make sure ur program is a post graduate diplomma or advanced diplomma program.
I would hav suggested MBA but since ur not intrested in GMAT

I dont see that a pg certificate program would help you increase ur knwoledge when ur already having a PgDM with work ex!!!

You need to pick up a course that shows career progession ....else you wont seem a genuine student!!!

November 1, 2012 at Calgary
Bro... I applied at University of Calgary in MEng and MAsc Fall 2013 in ECE... got rejected from both MEng and MAsc. applied in University of Alberta in MAsc Fall 2013 ECE... got rejected... Then I applied in McMaster and University of Ottawa... by the grace of Almighty now got admission offer from McMaster in MEng.. reply awaited from University of Ottawa..

I had done a BS and MS earlier.. BS with about 65% and MS with 3.57 CGPA... IELTS was 8.0 and I had 6 year University teaching experience...

So probably I will not term McMaster as dream university.... I would have preferred University of Calgary or University of Alberta if I had got admitted there.... Job competition is much less in province of Alberta and Saskatchewan and naturally they prefer graduate of their own universities... Ontario is way full with all the immigrants from all over the world...

I have done btech (ece) from thapar university with overall 65.3%. My last 2 year percentage is 75.6 %. I have no backlogs or gap years..i have over 3 years of experience in intellectual property rights dealing with 3gpp technologies such as lte, lte-a, 5g etc.. i have also worked on 802.11 related standards...apart from these i have worked on networking technologies such as rsvp, BGP, Ospf etc. Also familiar with cloud services such as virtualization saas paas etc.

I have scored 7.5 overall in ielts (r=8.5, L,S= 7, w=6.5)

Can someone please let me know my chances for some of the universities such as mcmaster, university of alberta, calgary,ottawa, victoria etc.?

As i have improved last 2 year percentage, will it be an advantage to me as most of the universities considers last 2 year gpa
?

Thanks in advance

Depends on your course. Have you done GRE? Isn't that a requirement?

You have a decent profile although most good unis require B+ average for last 2 years which is 82.5%. Maybe taking GRE will help you
My university from where i did my bachelor of engineering...they had very strict gpa system...you think that they would consider that..and in your opinion which canadian universities are in my reach with this profile coz now i do not have time to take GRE exam

Thanks in advance

I don't know how they will look at it. I would say uOttawa, UVictoria, uCalgary and maybe uAlberta are within reach.
how about western university, what are my chances there? One thing more, they (western university) are done with the preliminary assessment of my application and have forwarded my application to the department. SHould I assume that I have at least passed their GPA requirement?

Thanks in advance.
