Unfortunately, you really need to do this research on your own. Each university will have an admissions requirements page on its website for prospective international students. Each one is different. You will need to know what your CGPA of 5.2 is equivalent to in a percentage park (Is it 52%?)

It's nearly 49 percentage. I know that each uni have different requirement, but how do I know which course is better for me, as I have done both business and engineering, does it depends only on degree or experienced.

A 49% is considered a fail in Canada. You will find it very, very difficult to be admitted to any university.

The program you apply to will have different requirements. Some will require that you have a degree in the same subject. Others will look at your entire background. Again, that's something you need to research. There are hundreds of universities and colleges in Canada.

I have no idea. Advisable is a big question - advisable for what? What is your purpose in getting an MBA? Are you asking if the university is a real university? Advisable is something that you decide.

The thing is, I have met many agents and few told me to join this University, I have checked online the website and videos are ok ,but on some review pages and blogs it's considered really bad University. So that's y I asked have you ever heard of this before.

You didn't ask me if I have ever heard of it ;) You asked me if it was advisable to study there.

I haven't ever heard of it. I think it is a private, for-profit university, who will likely take any international student willing to pay. That makes it not so good.

Never ever go to UCW. It is a private university. It once closed one of its branches all of a sudden and all the students were left stranded as they had nowhere to go. Agents will persuade you to join this university as they get a huge chunk of cut from them for giving them students. Once you are there, they won't even pay heed to you. Also, if you are thinking of settling in Canada, then let me tell you employers aren't even familiar with its name. So, job prospects are very low.

You will have to do a research yourself or hire an agent/ counsellor. Also, double check what they suggest you on google. Also, we are here to help you. There is one university which I heard accepts students for low marks is Thompson Rivers University. But, again I am not sure about its job prospects. Its situated in a very small town called Kamloops where part time work is hard to find.

Another institute which might accept you is Vancouver Island University. You will have to work really hard here to get a job since this is also unfamiliar with the employers.

Feel free to ask any questions.
Good luck!
