hi frnds.. i am happy with the comments replied for the previous post..
i would be very happy if someone give a valuable suggestion for my query..
i have 2 plus years of experience in an software firm.. i would like to pursue masters in canada.. my idea is to pursue any networking course..
i need to know whether, we should select an program same as present in our work experience profile or we can select of our choice in different domain like networking

Because having an software experience then pursuing an networking course, then will be helpful in getting an job in canada? will they consider my previous experience into account??

What kind of academic bachelor degree (4 years) do you have?
Your bachelor degree has an influence on your masters. First, your new university has to decide if they accept this as similar to what they require for a bachelor degree. If not, you will have to take transfer courses or a bridging program.
Also, if you have a bachelors degree in Business and you would like to take a masters in Computer Science, it will take a lot of courses. If you have a bachelor in IT and would like to go for a masters in Computer Science, it might be a little bit easiers (but would probably require extra courses too, before you can start with your masters).

Best thing you can do: contact the International Office of the universities that offer a master degree that you like, and ask them. Every university has its own rules.

Dear EVHB,
First of all i thanks u for replying to my thread.

I have studied U.G- B.E-Electronics and communication engineering (4 year full time course). Since i have experience in software testing field so i thought of going in networking domain, because i am not much interested to pursue masters in computer science. Since i have studied networking papers in my U.G, so i opted to pursue an masters in the same.
1. Internet Working available in Dalhousie university and alberta university
2. Computer networks in Ryerson university

Do u have any idea of these courses?

my query is after pursuing masters is it easy to get an job in oversees? i don't know the current scenario prevailing in Canada. so i need guidance.

Don't know a lot about the reputation of these universities regarding Networking.
And if it's easy to find a job after you obtain a Canadian degree: no idea either. I see people in IT who are struggeling to find a job here (although they are already permanent residents or locals and are very experienced), and I see others who come here as a help desk person with only 2 years experience and landing a job within 2 months. So I don't know what to give you as advise. Certainly not in Networking. Maybe others can do that?
But first you have to ask the university if they will accept you. They might ask you for your transcripts, or a credit evaluation or so.

Dear EVHB,
Thanks for your reply.

Transcripts can be produced, its not an issue for me. So its hard time to get an job in current market in Canada too? may i know how much graduates pass out in a year in any program in specific(IT or networking) tell me approximately. Which industry have better scope IT or networking.

You spoke about help desk, does it means customer support/technical support in outsourcing companies?

Are u currently staying in canada?

[EVHB]

I don't have these numbers. Maybe you can try to find them on google?
Or at Statistics Canada: Canada's national statistical agency ?

Yes. But not only as a contractor/in outsourcing.
