Expert Answers
Is it possible for me to join a paid co-op during a computer science degree in Canada?
→Yes. UBC welcomes international students to its co-op programs, Dalhousie computer science co-op asks for a minimum 2.5 CGPA, and Waterloo and Ottawa also run co-op. Since 1 April 2026 eligible students no longer need a separate co-op work permit, but you still need a valid study permit.
Can I get into certain fields more easily in Canada with my three-year bachelors degree?
→With a three-year bachelors degree, Canadian universities typically welcome applicants into fields where academic equivalence is easier to establish, such as business, computer science and social sciences. Public policy suits diverse backgrounds, while engineering usually needs a recognized three-year engineering degree. Check each university's page.
Will my Canadian post-graduation work permit change if my passport expires before it would end?
→If your passport expires before your PGWP would end, IRCC issues a new post-graduation work permit that matches your passport expiry date. Apply to change conditions or extend your stay at least 30 days before your permit expires, after getting a new passport. Check the IRCC page.
Is an open work permit different from an employer-specific work permit in Canada for me?
→An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada without a job offer or LMIA, while an employer-specific work permit names one employer and requires you to stay employed with them. Conditions can vary, so check the official Canadian immigration page for current rules.
Do Canadian universities give me, as an Indian student, scholarships for finance degrees?
→Yes. HEC Montreal lists entrance scholarships of CAD 2,000 to CAD 10,000, Dalhousie's Corporate Residency MBA awards run CAD 5,000 to CAD 10,000, and Telfer has a CAD 500 emergency fund for Indian MBA students. Check the official page for your intake.
How long is a BBA in Canada, and what subjects will I study in the general syllabus?
→A BBA in Canada typically lasts 3 to 4 years. The general syllabus covers subjects such as financial accounting, management principles, organizational behavior, human resources management and international business management. Specific courses vary by university and specialization, so check the official program page.
Which country among Germany, France, Canada, Australia and Ireland would give me the lowest overall MBA cost?
→Among these five, Germany typically offers the lowest overall MBA costs because many public universities charge minimal tuition. France and Ireland offer relatively affordable options with scholarship opportunities, while Canada and Australia are stronger on post-study work. Check each university's official page for current fees.
Which Canadian universities let me do a paid co-op placement while I study finance?
→Yes. Waterloo, Dalhousie, Toronto Metropolitan and Memorial run co-op routes in finance or commerce. Placements are competitive, not guaranteed, and TMU lists an option of up to 16 months of co-op. Confirm international student eligibility for your exact program before applying.
