Hi,

1. It's highly reccomended that you go for MBA in some specialization in a publicly recognized University (for the sake of having greater chances for visa..and also for career, provided you do from a recognized public university with higher standards).
You may apply for Business related 2 years PG cert. courses or 1 year Pg cert./PG diploma programmes in colleges.
2. Mostly No.
3. I think, yes...
4. To the best of my knowledge, you are mistaken. No MBA is offered in Seneca or any other college. You may be talking about 1 year PG certificate course in project management. Also, I think..project management is for those with relevant work experience.
But, you may go for..it..do some more research, contact college, know more about it etc. Getting a job depends upon individual talent, skills, networking ability and a bit of luck of course.
5. The two Prairie provinces of Canada - Alberta & Saskatchewan have comparatively booming economy.
6. There is nothing..like govt. is not giving spousal visas. Where did you hear this? It's best that you go early, settle down and then apply for spouse visa. Again, totally depends on case to case basis.
7. Most Univ. MBA/Master programmes have Sept. intake. Many popular college programmes have Jan as well as May intake. Do more research on the programme, college/Univ. you would like to attend. Here's the list of recognized educational institutes eligible for OCWP+PGWP: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp

Hope it helps.

Best of Luck.

@ Tiger.. Thanks for your reply

1) But i had already completed my 1 year MBA ..do you think i can again get admission for MBA in other university/college in Canada for 2 year..As MBA is for 2 year in Canada and i had already 1 year General MBA so i was thinking for getting direct into second year based on my previous Credit of MBA ..(taking another MBA degree may have some Visa rejection issues ..what do you think??)

2) What about the Part Time jobs availability if i join an College ..is it better chances if i join university.

Hi,

1.In that case, you should focus more on entering an MBA. There are some MBAs that accept freshers. Prepare for GMAT and apply for Fall 2013 intake. There are many 1 year MBA's in Canada too..but most are for people with min. 2 years work ex. Some of the good public univ.,. whose MBA programmes may consider freshers are... Memorial univ., Univ of Sask, Univ of Regina, Laurier Univ. (MBA with co-op), Univ. of Windsor (MBA and Master's of management) etc. You need to do more research and find such programmes. But, usually admission standards are higher, and meeting eligibility criteria alone does not secure admission, unless you do not so high level MBA from Univ. like TRU or VIU (no GMAT or work ex required)..

It really depends on the University, and you need to contact them, if they are willing to give any credit for your 1 year MBA in UK. But, I think..mostly no...

2 There is no such thing that part time jobs are available more in colleges or less in Universities. Part time job availability depends on the city you are living in/ location of your college or univ. (Bigger cities have usually more jobs), number of openings and most importantly ..your ability to do better networking.

Hi,

No. Not at all. There are people with MBAs form India..pursuing college level PG cert./diploma in Canada. But doing an University MBA will definitely increase your visa chances, not to mention if the MBA is reputed... and from a good publicly recognized Canadian univ., then not only the visa is virtually assured... but chances of getting a skilled job and making real career growth will also be high.

It's unlikely that any university will give you a full year's credit. You'll have to contact the universities you're interested in directly to ask what their policies are.
