What is the difference between a PG certificate and a master's degree in Canada for a Bachelor's/Postgraduate?

A master's degree in Canada is more comprehensive and academically advanced than a postgraduate (PG) certificate.

- Master's degree: Usually takes 2 - 3 years, includes in-depth study and research, and is widely recognized for advanced career or academic opportunities. - PG certificate: Typically 6 - 12 months, focused on practical, career-oriented skills in a specific area, and generally less expensive.

Both require a bachelor's degree, but a master's offers greater academic depth and long-term value. PSW (post-study work visa) eligibility is usually longer for master's graduates.
