Canadian second-class immigrants

Path 1: language (according to the students' language situation)+postgraduate diploma (1 ~ 2 years)

The requirements for applying for a master's degree in Canadian universities are extremely high, and the success rate of foreign students applying for a master's degree in Canada is not high, while applying for a master's degree only requires a college degree or above, and good grades are enough.

Advantages: low entry threshold and high gold content in the course. It is very suitable for students who want to find a good job in Canada after graduation and want to immigrate in the future. If the guarantee amount is small, we can take the SPP plan to improve the success rate.

Disadvantages: Postgraduate diploma has a strong employment purpose, requires a good study plan and language scores, and is not suitable for older students or students who have graduated for a long time.

Recommended institutions: public universities

Path 2: Postgraduate preparation (4 ~ 12 months)+master's degree (1 ~ 2 years).

Definition: Canada's pre-graduate program is designed for international students who are interested in studying in North American universities. Improve students' overall English level and academic skills, guide students to consider and narrow the scope of research more realistically, and choose schools, research fields and tutors who are good at this field; And apply for the graduate school of the university suitable for students. In addition to cultivating these skills, we will also focus on cultivating research, reading and writing skills, which has met the needs of successfully completing master's and doctoral courses.

Advantages: it is suitable for undergraduate students to go to Canada to study for a master's degree, but it can't meet the requirements of direct admission to a master's degree at present. The study plan is reasonable, but the financial guarantee is relatively more.

Disadvantages: this course is only a preparatory course, and it cannot guarantee the study plan of students after finishing the preparatory course, so students need to reapply completely.

Recommended institutions: York University, Guelph, UBC, etc.

Path 3: dual master program (language+1~2-year master program)

Advantages: It is suitable for undergraduates who have a certain language foundation but do not meet the requirements of direct master's degree. The study plan is clear, the financial guarantee is appropriate, and the visa rate is high.

Disadvantages: Relatively speaking, the ranking of schools with dual records is not too high, and students are required not to pick schools.

Recommended institutions: Vancouver Island University, Tiger Head University, University of Western Ontario Cultureworks, etc.

Path 4: directly apply for a master's degree (1 ~ 2 years)

Advantages: Suitable for undergraduate students with excellent academic performance and language conditions. The study plan is reasonable, you can apply for GIC visa, and the visa rate is high.

Disadvantages: Canadian master's application requires undergraduate students to have professional counterparts. Except for some business subjects, they basically require relevant professional background and high language requirements.

Recommended institutions: all universities offering master's courses.

Path 5: Apply for transferring credits or pursuing a second degree (depending on the language situation, course description and school evaluation).

Advantages: It is suitable for domestic undergraduate students who are studying or graduating, are not very satisfied with domestic colleges and majors, or have unsatisfactory domestic grades. It is also suitable for students who have difficulty in directly applying for a master's degree and have no relevant background.

Disadvantages: transferring credits requires students to provide more detailed course descriptions, the probation period is long, students need to teach language scores well, and how many credits to transfer is uncertain. The requirements for financial security are higher. The study plan is very important and directly affects the visa rate.

Difference: Studying for a second degree and transferring credit courses are similar in a sense. As far as most colleges and universities are concerned, these two courses need to provide course descriptions. In principle, for North American students studying for the second degree course, it is generally a two-year course, which does not require relevant professional background, but requires a bachelor's degree certificate. However, some colleges, such as South Alberta Institute of Technology and North Alberta Institute of Technology, offer two-year applied bachelor's degree courses and can accept college graduates.

Recommended institutions: public universities and colleges such as CBU, Piso University, Algmar University and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.

Note: The study plan is reasonable and cannot be generalized. The specific situation depends on students' own conditions and family conditions.
