What are the requirements for a master's degree in Canada?

Now studying in Canada is like this. Canada's excellent master's education and attractive immigration policy make studying in Canada the "best choice" for many students. In order to help students apply successfully, this paper takes the fall enrollment of 20 1 1 as an example to explain the application process, required application materials and application strategies of Canadian masters.

12 months: application

When recruiting graduate students, Canadian universities will comprehensively consider the overall situation of students, mainly in the following three aspects:

1, college grades. It is difficult to apply for graduate students in Canada with an average score of 75 or less. With an average score of more than 85, all universities in Canada can basically apply.

2. English level. Canadian universities basically require applicants to have a TOEFL score of 580 or above and an IELTS score of 7.0 or above.

3. Work and internship experience. Canadian universities attach great importance to students' practical experience, so students with practical experience generally have a higher success rate in applying.

Expert interpretation: domestic applicants must pay attention to the preparation of materials when applying. Because Canadian professors first get to know the applicant through these materials, and decide whether the applicant can be admitted according to the materials. Personal statement of the applicant, especially the very important determinant. Professional choice is also very important. Canadian universities do not encourage students to change majors, so it will be easier to apply in the original major. Moreover, it is difficult to apply for majors such as law, medicine and accounting, except for master's courses specially offered by some universities for international students.

5 months: Waiting for the result.

2011/04-201/06 major universities announced the admission results one after another.

2011/05-201/07 If you are accepted, you can start preparing your visa. After applying for a visa, you can get a visa in 1.5 months if you don't have a medical examination in advance. Risk physical examination, you can get a visa within 1 month.

Visa application materials:

1. Application fee (about 940 yuan RMB) Four passport photos.

2. Original valid passport and two "application forms for study permit"

3, family and education and employment details and scholarship certificate.

4. Tuition receipt and study plan

5. Notarization of university diplomas and transcripts plus proof of funds.

Expert Interpretation: Generally speaking, it is recommended to submit an application for studying in Canada 3-4 months before the start of school. If you only have a copy/fax of the admission notice, you can submit the application with the copy first and then submit the original as soon as possible. Please indicate your name, date of birth and file number when submitting the above materials. In addition, the Canadian Consulate in Shanghai does not accept applications for study permits. Only applications for temporary resident tourist visas, work permits and travel documents submitted by residents of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces are accepted.

2 months: Enrolment.

2011/07-201/08 book air tickets and confirm accommodation. If the OFFER is accepted conditionally, it is necessary to supplement relevant materials to the school in time.

At this time, you can prepare your ticket and luggage for Canada. According to the reporter's experience, the most important thing to go to Canada is to prepare a thick coat. The second half of the year is coming, and it will soon be winter. A thick coat is necessary, but sweaters and the like can be omitted because there is heating in the room, which is not suitable there. The other is to prepare some medicines in case of emergency. Others can be found online.

20 1 1/09 flew to Canada to report on time.

The above is the whole process of applying for a master's degree in Canada and the application materials needed at each stage. I believe that students can successfully study in Canada as long as they meet the requirements, make full preparations and apply step by step according to the application process.
