If Royal Roads is University granting you a Masters degree, then it is always a better option than a Diploma. George Brown is a very good College but still it is only a Community College not a University, and doing two diplomas back-to-back might not fetch you 3 years PGWP.

Also, if you do a Masters degree, you can claim additional points for Express Entry PR. I am not sure what level equivalency is awarded for Diplomas, maybe someone else can answer this.

Fully agreed, as a personal suggestion i would advise you to apply for Ryerson Univeristy according to your qualification. otherwise Royal Roads University should be your second choice.... & if some how you want to study in college then GBC is the most suitable option for you....

Hello,
I am planing to take up Masters/ PG courses in Canada next year. My profile details are as follows:
1.I have 15 years of education (BBA)and currently 22age
2. I have around 7 months of experience in my family business.
3. I have 60%in 10th SSC and HSC, 64%in Bachelors.
4. I have not taken GMAT
5. My IELTS is on 7feb
6. I am interested in 2 years/ 18 months full time Masters/ PG courses from a reputed college / university

I have finally shortlisted 2 options, kindly give your views on the same.
1. George Brown College (St. james Campus)
- PG in international business management (intake May 2015 to Dec 2015 - 8 months course)
2 conestoga college (doon campus)
PG in global business management (intake may 2015 )
3. Centennial college
PG in international business management (May intake)
2. Royal Roads university (BC) - Master of global management (18 months with 12 months on campus and 6 months internship)
I am more interested in masters. I am not looking for PR. I will come back to India. And do business. And according to me I found Canada the best place to study. I can even have some work experience. Is it a right choice or should I go for Australia, as I will be eligible for good universities also, as they don't need work experience and okay with 3 year of graduation.
I am very confused.

Kindly assist me with your views on the which one to go for, also other options are welcomed.

if your interested in college than George brown college is good
& like i said earlier here if Royal Roads University granting you a Masters degree, then it is always a better option than a Diploma.
and after completing your master's you will easily get the PR..according to the current laws of canada. then it will be upto you weather you want PR or not.
but let me tell you my opinion please select a university with high rankings like Simon fraser & University of toronto. the ranking of university really matters.
best of luck.

Royal roads university is far far better than gbc.

check the reviews on this site itself. That is self explanatory.

Rru is the fastest masters in canada which gives 3 year work permit.

Its the cheapest masters too at 30k with no gmat.

cheers

I have studied in George Brown, it doesn't make any sense to go to a college when you have an option to go to University....

and please do not only think of getting the PGWP, think of what after that????
and If your long term goal is to settle down here in Canada, then as per current situation BC (British Columbia) is a safe bet...

I haven't studied IBM however a good friend did and he is not very satisfied with the content... everybody is free to speak what they have to.....

You have to do a lot of research in terms of the Job Market in Vancouver or around,

on the lighter note One thing for sure that you will love the Weather in BC rather then in ON.
