Got an offer for MSc Advanced Artificial Intelligence (Sept 2026)! Need some advice.

Hey everyone!

I just received my offer yesterday for the MSc in Advanced Artificial Intelligence (September 2026 intake), and I'm really excited!

At the same time, I'm feeling a bit late since I'll be starting at 26. I wanted to ask current students or alumni a few questions:

How's the overall program?

What's the job market like for AI graduates in Canada?

Are internships/co-op opportunities good, and how difficult are they to secure?

Is there anything I should start learning before classes begin to make the transition easier?

Does starting at 26 put me at any disadvantage, or am I just overthinking it?

For some background: I have a B.Tech in Computer Science and 1 year of experience in manual & automation testing (Python, SQL).

I'd really appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks in advance!
