You do not need any minimum years of work experience for most engineering master’s programs in Canada. Many universities, like the University of Toronto, do not require work experience for admission.

However, having relevant work experience can strengthen your application by showing practical skills and dedication to the field. Requirements may vary between programs, so check each university’s criteria if you have a specific target in mind.

If you need help reviewing your profile for specific programs, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
