hello,
i have heard from someone that it is allegedly impossible to get admission to 2-year master programs if you completed a 3-year long bachelor's, is this true? even if i graduate from a well-ranked university in Europe? and the other thing was, even if you get admitted to a masters program the visa officers might reject your application if you graduated from a 3 year long bachelor's. Are these allegations true?
thanks

Depends on the university as each one has different requirements. But yes, most likely you need a 4 year. Just research the schools. Doesn’t matter if it is well ranked.

but in every European country bachelor's is 3 years long, maybe it is only viable for graduates from Canadian universities. Actually, admission is not the problem but the visa is. I have never heard of someone getting rejected bc her bachelor's is 3 years long before, sounds weird bc why would they reject your visa if you already got accepted by the university?

I never said anything about IRCC rejecting your visa because it is a 3 year. If you got into the university, then your study permit application is accepted on your strong profile.
