Hi,

To study in Canada, you need to select an appropriate course in any of the recognized college or university, and then apply for a study permit.
Getting Canadian study permit is perhaps one of the toughest to get in the world and even if you 've million dollars...won't guarantee you a study permit. As far as applicants from Indian subcontinent/Asia are concerned...the CHC has several unwritten rules such as the course applied should be higher or atleast similar level of your present credential (i.e if you are a Bachelor's level degree holder, applying for lower level plain certificate/diploma programmes 'll surely result in visa rejection) and the course applied to should be in the direct area of your previous study/background or atleast in a related field. For example if you are Business degree holder, have 2 years work ex in sales field and you opt for a PG course in Hotel management ..then also your visa 'll be most probably rejected. All these to avoid Course/study mismatch... Now you get the point right...? One of the most probable reason for such stringent rules is to limit the number of students entering Canada and only accept genuine students..

Before you apply for Canadian study permits, you need to find an appropriate course in a recognized Canadian college or University. You will need to choose a course in a Canadian college or university..in a province of your choice... matching to your previous level and area of training/ education/ work experience. You will need to visit the individual college or university websites, do research for yourself..and choose an appropriate course. Here's the list of recognized publicly funded colleges and Universities (listed province wise):

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp

You MUST select an appropriate College/University and a course/higher or atleast similar to your current qualifications and area of study.

To get admissions to Universities, you usually need 70-75% minimum marks in UG, good academic record, IELTS score(min 6.5, with 6 in all bands) and perhaps GRE score and/or work ex in relevant area. The admission process to Canadian recognized public universities is very high.

If you don't have such high academic record, next best thing is to apply for a PG level course (also known as Graduate certificates/diplomas) of 1 or 2 years in a Canadian college related to your previous study.
Hence, either you can look forward to study M.S in your field of engineering studies (i.e CS/MECH./ELECTRICAL ETC.) in Canadian Universities OR study some engineering field(of your B.tech) related PG level 1-2 years in any of the recognized Canadian college. You may also look forward to do a 3 years Advanced Diploma with Co-op, but it's not reccomended as it's lower than a Bachelor's degree.

Going by your profile, if you continue to get above 70% in your final year B.tech too... you will be eligible to apply and it's highly reccomended you opt for a M.S in engineering(of your field) in any of the recognized public universities.

Best of Luck.

Thnx a lot !! that was really helpful !! I had applied to few universities in the month of dec'11 and my aggregate was 69 at that time and i faced two rejections from calgary and mcmasters. and i am waiting for saskatchewan and dalhousie( No reply from them).

Let me make it clear that i am planning for sept'12 and for back-up i got an admit from durham college(electronics engg technology-1year-advanced diploma-fasttrack) and algonquin college(international business management).

On the other hand, after my aggregate rose to 70.2%, i had applied for carleton university.

Itz sure that my aggregate will be (74-75)% once i am done with B.Tech !!

Hi,

Don't rush. If you are sure... your aggregate..especially in the last 2 years of your B.Tech degree will be above 70%... preferably will touch 75%.. then go ahead... and apply ONLY for M.S/M.Eng (in your area of study) to most of the publicly recognized universities of your choice. As long as you have 70%+ marks (and meet the basic eligibility criteria for admission).. the more universities you apply to...the more your odds will increase of getting acceptance. It's as simple as that. Don't go for colleges... 1st try in all the publicly recognized Universities offering M.S/M.eng in your field. Check that recognized participating institution's list...and apply to the Universities.. offering M.S in your field.. don't delay... as Sept. intake is near... and definitely don't take chances..who knows..you MAY get accepted to some M.S programme of a University..in last moment.. You never know.

Also, if you pursue a Master's form any of the 2 universities of Saskatchewan... or any other university in Ontario province, then as per existing rules... you don't even need to get a job offer... and you can directly apply for PNP nomination and PR! (If that's also in your mind)

Best of Luck.

Hi,

I see... then cross your fingers..and wait.... in case you don't get... you MAY apply for a visa..through some college programme. But, in my opinion.. I will still say... don't apply for college.. if you are securing above 70%. Rather wait till next intake..in Jan or Sept'2013... and apply for the M.S (electrical) programmes in all the universities. You are sure to get offer of admission in 1 or other university. Don't rush.. it's rather better to wait for 1 year and enter a good M.S in a university... than rush and enter a college right now (from a long term point of view...career as well as PR (remember Sask. & On province have direct PR for master degree holders). In the mean time... get solid work experience in this field if you can.

Best of Luck.
