Hi,

You seem like a Indian student. Here is my piece of advise. Firstly! what is the class mentioned for your GPA? If it is first class then your you have good chances. If your is an upper second class you still some choices in this would be a 56-59%. Any score below 55% is not advisable to apply in Canada you'll not get into even the lowest of low universities.

You need to get a strong SOP and strengthen your profile. Work experience is a great way to do this i notice you have it. You have no chances in research programs you can give a shot at non-research masters or MEng as its called in Canada. PM me if you need more help :)

Please help with advice because I intend applying to Dalhoise(M.Development Economics ),

Hey!

Above 70% is definitely a comfortable score to apply with but there are universities that accept scores above 60% or in the close ranges. The truth is each university in Canada has their own grade conversion standards for international students you cannot depend on standard conversions like WES. Example U Manitoba accepts from 55% where as UBC will have a higher requirement. Lot depends on the university reputation and rankings too. Getting a research masters will be always tough if your scores are below 70% cause this needs approval from a faculty and your justification in the area of research. You should also have technical papers published

The bigger question here is are you ready to study in any university that admits you or do you have specific targets? If you are open to any province/university you can make it with a 60%/first class.

Reason why consultancies say 70% is because they want to sell you PG Diploma courses which doesn't give you the career growth you need. I would suggest you to check with Canam consultancy, they do not charge any fees for applications but they have limited university tie ups just a suggestion i do not have any personal experience but this is something my friends advised me. But any day i would say you can apply for canada yourself. If you have the patience and time to read through processes, contact universities.

PS: Meeting the GPAs requirements is not the only criterion there are many other parameters which dictate your admission chances like SOP, research experience etc.
Hello. I am interested in if my GPA is low for bachelor but I had master in abroad and got diploma b also for 10 years experience in translation which I had translated 30 books from English and most of them are Canadian writers and I am also researcher and have a book but also worked in radio liberty as a literature program producer and was a head of several literature projects in mu country do they give me a chance to get my second master for literature? Is this considered a strong profile? My toefl ibt is 95 by the way.
