Hi,

Name of the University/educational institute? That's most important.

It really depends on which educational institute's MBA, you got admitted into. If it's some university like VIU (participating under SPP), then even though it's a university..you will still apply under SPP (provided this is your 1st time applying for a Canadian study permit).
Here's the list of participating educational institutes under SPP:

If your educational institute is not on the above list, then as an MBA applicant to a university, you will apply under UNIVERSITY category.

Just for an info..

What is the difference between applying in the category Student Visa - General and Student Visa-University. In which case do we apply either of them. ?

Thanks..

Hi,

Applicable for citizens of India:

As the name suggests: University category is exclusive for those applying for studies in any of the Canadian public universities.
However, if a first time study permit applicant from India, wishes to apply in 1 of the 3 universities participating under SPP India, then the applicant can apply under SPP even though he/she is applying to a university.

General or Generic category are for the first time applicants either applying to all other colleges, those are not participating under SPP and also for previously rejected, repeat applicants to any of the colleges (even those applying to the colleges participating under SPP).

To know more; see the official checklists of various categories:

SPP: http://www.vfs-canada.co.in/pdf/Student_Partners_Program_09022013.pdf
Generic: http://www.vfs-canada.co.in/pdf/study_permit_20-09-2012.pdf
