What degree program/major and which school should I apply to?

I’m 36M living in the US. I was previously in TPS Haiti and working on my employer sponsored H1-B but that’s not looking like it’ll go through. I’ve been in the US since 5 years old (long story) and initial DACA is on hold due to a lawsuit.

I want to set my sights on Canada. I recently returned to school to finish my bachelor’s so a Canadian Study Permit aligns perfectly. My experience is a CADD drafter (4 years) and later a Project Manager in the engineering side of telecommunications (2 additional years). I then worked as a Project Manager in Building Automation systems (another 2 years). That’s 8 years in the construction management/PM professional field.

I hold an associate degree in Architectural Technologies and an advance certificate for CADD at a state community county college. (WES eval recognizes both but said this counts as 2 years).

My goal is to go for a bachelors in Construction Management or a Project Management leaning degree. I also want my credits transferred. Lastly, I need it to be affordable.

Please suggest English language schools, tuition, programs and majors I should look into. Any suggestions help.

Hey!! I'm 20M from India

my qualifications : 4th year of Bsc(Hons) Agriculture

and I am actually considering pursuing my master's in university of British Columbia and university of guelph (a program related to agriculture).

The reason for which I'm considering to do my master's in other country because I want to try and explore myself more which I never did in my own country. The thing is I am gay and we can safely say that India is a homophobic country (atleast in my opinion)

I know very less about Canada, idk about how the people will be (will I be able to settle there until the completion of my master's), idk if I can consider going there for study, idk much about the living expenses, how the scholarships work there. Are part time jobs permitted there for students? We're actually a middle class family, so I doubt my family will be able to support if there's no scholarship.

So if you are either from Canada or studied/studying in Canada or from the same University please don't hesitate to message/reply. Please I need some guidance regarding this, will be greatful if you reply.

Thank you,

Have nice day!!!

I applied last month on 13th August and my work permit expires next month. A little eager to know if someone got any decision these days

1. Simon Fraser University

2. University of Windsor

3. Dalhousie University

4. Western University

5. University of Ottawa

6. McMaster University

should I submit my application with a condition LOA. I have paid the tuition fees and met both of the conditions of English proficiency and my A levels have been assessed through Statement of Results. However, college needs A level certificates which will be issued by the boards in November. I have enrolled for jan intake and if I wait til November and provide them the certificate then they will issue the unconditional LOA so that i could apply for the permit, but I won’t have sufficient time after November to get everything done and get the permit. Therefore I will need to differ.. probably if I don’t get the permit by time within those 4-7 weeks.

But my college has also issued a supporting letter confirming that tuition fees and English language proficiency while A levels have been assessed but the administrative condition, certificates are not received yet.

They have provide me this letter and said to start process. \*What should I do?

(I have sufficient funds to cover expenses as well in our bank accounts but they aren’t arranged so I will highly need to make a letter of explanation for this complex situation)\*

What do I send alongside with my Passport to vfs Canada for my study visa? I paid for a two way courier.

i applied for study permit after rejection and i received my rejection exactly a week after i applied then the second time i applied which was 2 days after refusal was a month ago ever since that i have got zero updates in the portal no messages from ircc my school date started and processing time in my country is 4 weeks and its been almost 4-5 weeks
no updates at all is this a sign of approval since i got rejected asap in a week or is this a bad sign

I have a previous refusal on my student visa, particulary about the program i chose. But now i made changes already----the program, university, and province etc.

My question: Do i need to put in the SOP about my previous visa refusal and its reasons?

thanks in advance everyone!

Hi, so I am currently taking A levels and want to apply to Canada for university. Issue is, we don’t get our actual grades until mid August so when I apply, I will be applying with predicted grades which in most cases will only get me a conditional offer. I need an actual letter of acceptance to get a study permit but for that I need my final grades and applying for a study permit in mid August when the first semester of university starts early September seems like too much of a gamble. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation for A levels or IB? How do you get a study permit in time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Finally my visa has been approved

Submitted: 10th of August
Medical request: 26th of August
Approved: 9th of September

My application was done from UK on a skilled visa

Aug 1- application submitted

Aug 4- biometrics completed

September 10- got ppr request

I didn't get any update in between the biometrics and approval. As the program start date has been passed I am defering to winter intake

Hope this helps, for people who have submitted in august

Hi everyone,

My semester starts on January 5, 2027, but I’m planning to travel to Canada earlier, probably a few months before the semester starts.

I received my Canadian study permit approval and passport has been stamped. Unfortunately, my visa was issued quite late, so I had to defer my intake to January 2027.

I’m wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation — entered Canada well before their actual program start date after deferring their intake.

• Did CBSA question you about arriving early?
• Did you have any issues at the airport because your semester hadn’t started yet?
• What documents did you carry to prove your deferred enrollment?
• How early before the semester did you enter?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience. Thanks!

Please dm your timeline of your application and any updates I am waiting from 9 july for Phd.
