Requirements include bachelor's degree in relevant field, strong GPA (3.0+, competitive programs need 3.3+), English proficiency (IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL 90+), statement of purpose, recommendation letters, and CV. GRE not typically required for Canadian universities. Some programs require prerequisite courses in mathematics and physics. We help strengthen applications and document preparation.
Annual costs range CAD $25,000-$40,000 for tuition, plus CAD $12,000-$15,000 for living expenses. Total approximately CAD $37,000-$55,000 yearly. However, co-op earnings (CAD $40,000-$60,000 over program) significantly offset costs. More affordable than USA/UK while maintaining quality. Public universities offer excellent value for international students.
Co-op (cooperative education) alternates academic terms with paid work terms. Students complete 4-6 work terms (each 4 months) during program, earning CAD $40,000-$60,000 total. Provides Canadian work experience crucial for PGWP and PR applications. Waterloo, Toronto, and other universities have strong employer networks. Mandatory in many programs.
Software, Computer, Electrical, and Civil Engineering have strong demand. Petroleum and Mining Engineering excellent in Alberta. Renewable Energy growing rapidly. All engineering fields offer good prospects with starting salaries CAD $60,000-$85,000. Choose based on interest as all specializations provide clear immigration pathways through skilled worker programs.
Not required for most undergraduate and master's programs. However, relevant internships or projects strengthen applications. Co-op programs during bachelor's provide extensive work experience. Graduate programs value research experience more than industry work. Academic performance and potential are primary admission criteria. Strong profile with projects helps.
Bachelor's programs: 4 years (including co-op terms, some are 5 years). Master's programs: 1.5-2 years. PhD programs: 4-6 years. Co-op programs may extend duration but provide valuable paid work experience. Programs accredited by CEAB recognized globally. PGWP duration matches study length (up to 3 years).
Yes! Strong pathway through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs. PGWP provides 3-year work permit after graduation. Canadian work experience, engineering NOC codes, and education points significantly boost Express Entry scores. Most engineering graduates achieve PR within 1-2 years post-graduation. Canada actively welcomes engineers.
Yes! Universities offer entrance scholarships (CAD $3,000-$15,000), renewable awards for subsequent years, and research funding for graduate students. Co-op earnings (CAD $40,000-$60,000 total) significantly reduce financial burden. Mitacs and provincial programs also available. Early application and strong academics increase scholarship chances. We help identify opportunities.
Yes! Study permit allows 20 hours weekly during semesters and full-time during breaks. However, co-op programs provide structured, well-paid work experience (CAD $15-$30/hour) that's more valuable than part-time jobs. Graduate students often work as research or teaching assistants. Co-op earnings substantially help with expenses.
Professional Engineer (PEng) designation from provincial engineering associations (PEO, APEGA, etc.) required for certain roles. Requires engineering degree, 4 years work experience, and passing professional practice exam. International graduates can obtain PEng through Engineer-in-Training (EIT) program. PEng enhances career prospects and increases earning potential significantly. Many employers support PEng process.
