2. Prepare for the application

When you shortlist the university options, check to see if they are Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). This means Canada recognizes them as trustworthy places of study and you won't risk falling victim to an education fraud. Also consider tuition fees, which can significantly increase the cost of your studies. These vary by country of origin, but universities offer more detail on their website for each academic program.

Research your chosen subject and language of study. Canada is bilingual, so you can choose a Masters degree taught in English, French, or both.
High marks are important in the application process. Many institutions require grades of 70% above average. The higher the grades, the better your chances of enrolling in a good university.
If you are over 25 and have completed your last program at least two years before applying, you may be required to provide information about your previous jobs.

3. Meet the language proficiency requirements
Students in Canada can choose from a wide variety of study programs taught in English as well as French. Depending on which language you choose to learn, you will have to prove your level of knowledge.
