- Do you know the difference between a Masters or a PG Diploma in Canada? Here is a 10 point comparison between these two and this will help you figure out which is the best option for you. The comparison is as follows:
1. Eligibility requirements - For Masters, you must have a minimum of 7 out of 10 GPA in bachelors whereas for PG Diploma, it is 6 out of 10 GPA. The IELTS requirement is same, that is overall 6.5 and not less than 6 in each band. The minimum years of education for Masters can vary from 15 to 16 years whereas for PG Diploma you have 15 years of education.
2. Scope - Masters is a professional degree, it is more detailed, research-oriented and has a higher difficulty level. Whereas, PG Diploma is relatively more practical & skill based, it helps you make job ready by working on a particular skill. PG Diploma is also easy & has more coursework than research.
3. Level of Study - Masters is considered as a higher level of degree as you can directly pursue PhD afterwareds. However, you cannot pursue PhD directly after a PG Diploma. On hierarchy, Bachelors is the first step then comes PG Diploma, then Masters and at the top in the PhD study.
4. Scholarships - There are more scholarships in research based masters than course based masters. Whereas, there are many Entrance scholarships for students in Colleges. Overall, there are only few scholarships available compared to USA or other countries.
5. Duration of Study - The duration of a masters course can vary from 1 to 2 years. As, it is a professional degree, mostly masters are of 12 months only exceptions are thesis based masters that take up to 3 years. In comparison, PG Diploma can vary from 8 months to 24 months (1-2 years), But mostly people prefer to take a 2 years diploma course in Canada.
6. Fee Structure - The fees for a masters program vary from 30 to 40k CAD per year therefore depending upon your course duration, your Tuition fees for a masters program can vary from 20 to 50 Lakhs. Mostly, 1 year Master Degree cost around 20-25 Lakhs. Whereas, the Tuition Fees for a PG Diploma course can vary from 15,000 to 20,000 CAD per year, that is around 8 to 10 Lakhs per year. Therefore, you can expect the PG Dpiloma fees to be between 16 to 20 Lakhs for entire diploma course. The best part is, you can easily manage to gather your College Tuition Fees while working part-time job, but it is difficult to manage University Tuition Fees by yourself as their study is hard & more intense, also the overall fees for a degree is higher than diploma.
7. PGWP Duration - The Post graduate work permit duration after a Masters is mostly 3 years because masters is considered as a professional degree. Whereas, the PGWP duration after a PG Diploma varies on the length of study. For example - 1 year study give you 1 year of work permit, 2 years of study gives you 3 years of work permit.
8. Salaries & Job Market - The average salaries after a Masters degree can vary from 50,000 to 70,000 CAD per annum compared to 40,000 to 60,000 CAD per annum after a PG Diploma. Masters is a professional degree, this helps you to easily find your field job & you also start at a slightly higher pay with a higer salary. However, if you have good skill-set then you can also grab a good job role & salary after a PG Diploma. Therefore, key point is to focus on your skill-set.
9. PR Opportunities - Masters give you the best options for Permanent residency in Canada. The best way to apply for PR after Masters is through PNP programs. There is a dedicated stream for International post-graduate students in PNP Pathway to apply for PR without any Job Offer or Work Experience. It is only based on a Masters or a PhD Degree from an eligible university in Canada. However, PR takes long time & is becoming difficult in major cities after a PG Diploma course. The best way to get Canada PR after a PG Diploma is through Express Entry. One has to work for 2 to 3 years to maintain a decent CRS score that they can now clear CRS cut-off to get invite for PR.
10. Famous Universities & Colleges - The best options for a masters degree in Canada are University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, University of Alberta, Mcgill University, university of Waterloo, University of Manitoba, McMaster University, Simon Fraser University, etc. Whereas, the best colleges to pursue PG Diploma courses are Centennial college, Conestoga College, Humber College, Selkirk College, Seneca College, Sheridan College, BCIT, Langara & Douglas College, etc.

Sir 1 year masters degree ka sept intake ka course kb khtm hota hai aur PNP kb tk mil skti hai. Kya hm degree khtam hone ke baad india aa skte hai family se milne?
It depends course to course, could be in May or Aug end. Yes, you can come if you have a valid TRV and Study Permit/Work Permit. While going back to Canada, the immigration documents must still be valid.
Hello, I had completed my post graduation in zoology in 2011 with 64% and left studies after that. I am in govt job for last 8 years but was always willing to study and move to Canada. Will it be possible for me at the age of 35? Please do reply
Yea sure, you can move to abroad. Best is to look for a PR pathway, get Canadian PR and then relocate to Canada to find a suitable job. However, if you are already well settled in India, then it might not be worth moving here after so many years of experience. Thanks.
Bro agar passport mai old address hai jaha hamara khud ka ghar tha ,,,,,,aur ham abhi rent pe rehte hai to kya study visa mai is address barabar nai hone se koi problem aa sakti hai kya,,,,,aur agar koi rent pe rehte hai usko study visa mila sakta hai kya ,,,ya fir uska khud ka india mai home hona necesaary hai????
I think the address must match on passport & visa documents because Police will also come for verification.

Please check specific college eligibility requirements, it could vary from college to college. Thanks.
Thanks Sir, Good information
I have a question, Can you please share with me Best PG Diploma can we do in Canada?

You can pursue further specialization in IT field in Canada based on your interest. IT sector is in high demand and job market is also good. Thanks.
hi bro, i have done MBBS and i got 60%. Twist is, even the topper of the batch has 71%! so technically if we talk about percentile, i fall above 75%, but if we talk about percentage then i fall for 60%. Any suggestions? coz i m willing to do masters 😊
Unfortunately, the admissions here are based on percentage and not percentile. You can research and check your eligibility based on your course of interest. Thanks.
I finished my mba in India and I was looking to move and work there in Canada but I don’t know anyone there who would refer me for PR , so I thought of going through education and PGDM!
Is it good for me to do PGDM with MBA from India? Will it be easy getting though PR process and ECA?
Yes, i think it would be good.

GMAT is compulsory sir?
Gmat is for Mba in good universities. I think only the Top tier universities require GMAT. But you can check on specific university website. Thanks.
Indian master k baad b waha master lena chayie?
OR
PG diploma sahi rahega
You can do Double masters as well. If budget or eligibility doesn’t allow, then PG diploma is the way. Thanks.
@@Sid_sirohi98 thanks 👍 sir .. if I go with PG diploma then Indian master will help to add points duirng PR Process... Means how much difference between both for PR..? I have seen this video properly... But i didn't understand about Indian master
Indian Masters might not help much, apart from admissions. Canadian Masters degree have an upper edge in easing out the process of getting PR through PNP or Express entry. PR after PG Diploma is slightly becoming difficult these days. Thanks.
@@Sid_sirohi98 ok sir thanks 🙏
