Try some good schools in US, if your GRE score is good enough.

I went to Northwestern U for MS in CS right
after I landed in Canada. It seemed to me that
US schools, even the top ones, are less selective(although more competitive) than canadian schools. Because
I got rejected by both U of victoria and U of Toronto before I got I-20 from Northwestern.
during the years of studying and working in US, I realized that Northwestern is actually much more prestigious than any top canadian schools. So by going to the US alternative, you can bump up your career competitivity. Furthermore, you don't have to worry about your immigrant status because Immigration Canada will certainly have no problem issuing you return resident permit due to the fact that you are studying in US, which is considered for sure as an activity to improve your personal skills.

  • 工作学习 / 求学深造 / 有些关于上学的问题想请教大家。 我本科EE专业,因为不喜欢和电子电路打交道,毕业后这几年一直在做文秘,移民加拿大也是因为厌倦了这种工作,想出国念计算机硕士,可听人说加拿大申请计算机Master很难,来之后才有体会:UBC和YORK都把我拒绝了!
    真有点想不通。然后Simon Fraser Univ通知我被他们的计算机本科录取了,现在我特矛盾 1。花2年去读个本科值吗?2。不知温哥华生活费要多少?听说省的学生贷款要住满1年3。我现在还在申请其他一些大学的计算机Master,已通过了McGill和Queen's的Preliminary Application,请问斑竹和各位有经验的朋友,我读Master的可能性大吗?到底应该马上去读本科呢,还是再工作1年明年9月再念书?

      • Sam, I also want to study in US right after Ianding, but many people said that......
        it is impossible for Chinese landed immigrant to get US visa from Canada unless he has a stable job in Canada or lived there 6 months. So I wonder how you got the visa? Moreover, if I have a rejected record in my passport, can I just pass? Another question, how many GRE do you think is high enough? for CS master program in most decent US university. Thank you!
        • 呵呵,我回家到家了,可以用中文了。 我当时是因为家在多伦多,另外西北给我全奖。什么都没问就给签证了。
          大概美国好点学校的行情是GRE要求2150以上巴。但一般都有奖学金,我们班没有无奖学金的研究生。野鸡大学当然是只要有钱就可以进了,不用GRE多高。 但签证估计困难。 我感觉是美国好点的学校倒是容易申请,因为钱多麻
          • Sam: 你说的“因为家在多伦多”是指要有直系亲属在加拿大吗?我一个人刚移民多伦多3个月,可不可以申请?
            • Sorry, I had been on a business trip for the past couple of days. I think you should have no problem getting an F-1 visa if you have scholarship and tuition waiver from the US school.
              If you don't have any kind of fellowship, don't even think about going there, because US schools are super expensive.

              The family bond I maintained in Toronto back then was that my parents and sisters were
              all canadian citizens, most of them worked
              in canada .
              • Thanks!
