Anyone here applied to Canada or knows anyone who applied and succeeded in getting a visa ? compared to US(which is the most difficult) how hard is it usually to get a Canadian visa ? Also,unlike US,you don't have to submit financial documents to University and just directly to the embassy for the visa after you get your letter of admission right ? i have applied to a few US universities but considering applying to a few Canadian universities as well for backup

@Lord Ammar

Never even think of going for MBA WITHOUT work experience. You will be competing with experienced people after 2 years once you are done with your MBA and you will have to eat humble pie afterwards. Moreover, no good or even above average university is going to take you in for MBA without work experience. Keep in mind MBA is NOT only a degree just as engineering or medicine. In MBA, you are specifically relying on peer-to-peer learning and you will feel numb among experienced people in the class. Harvard, Stanford, Wharton do take FRESH graduates in but those who have internationally shown their leadership skills. Olympic gold medal on your profile and you are going to get in without experience. But I suspect you have that?
Be patient specially when you are going for MBA. You can try going for MS Economics if you want to do something immediately.

Students studying in the UK will not get a work permit. I just came back here from the UK. I was there for graduation but policy changed and we the NEW graduates will not get work permit, as some you understands it as PSWV, at the end of the day you'll be going back to your home country.
