My profile: Country: India Master's in Economics Degree from a Top 5 University. First ranker. (12 years ago) Research experience - 2 years in total : 1 year with a economic policy think-tank with and 1 year with a IIM, Ahmedabad professor - but both are 10 years ago More recent Work-experience: 8 years in data analytics industry GRE: Yet to take, but took once 12 years ago with a 1420 (710 in Quant and Verbal both) Recommendations: 1 from the IIM professor, 1 from my Master's thesis guide and 1 more from my Master's prog prof. All are fairly well known in India, but I'm unsure of how good a recco I'd get given the time that has lapsed since i worked with them. I am looking to immigrate to Canada with my family, and the PR (permanent residency, equivalence of a domestic student basically) application is already in pipeline. I am hoping to hear back positively by Nov/Dec 2018 latest on this. Hence, I'm looking only at Canadian schools for my studies. My questions are as follows: 1. What are my chances to get into UBC and U of Toronto? 2. Do you know if univs give a preference to international candidates or domestic (which is what a PR should help me get)? I'm keen on UBC, but not sure how strong my profile is and if I should first wait to get the PR in hand before i apply. If any of you have insights on this point, it would be quite helpful. 3. When is the latest I should take the GRE to meet the deadlines for applying for Fall 2019 admissions? 4. Does age play on negatively in a PhD application? Thank you all for reading through and guiding!

Hi Guys, I need some help here. My Profile is as below: 10th: 74% 12th: 70% BCA: 70% MCA: 78% Work Experience: 3 years 9 months (including 1 year in Canada) I have already spent 1 year in Canada working in Waterloo, Ontario as a QA Analyst. I have not taken GRE/TOEFL/IELTS yet. So, my questions are something like these: 1. I am looking for getting an admission as soon as possible. So what should be the time frame for me to give exams and file applications? 2. LORs available to me are from my managers and clients in Canada. Although I can get LORs from my previous faculty, but its been 4 years I have been working, so will that be so useful to the admission process or even have some relevance? 3. What are my chances of getting into UBC/UOT/UOW, if I get some average GRE scores. 4. It would be really helpful if somebody can give a good view of placement scenarios in UBC/UOT/UOW. P.S. I do not have any prior research experience, that is why I am not looking into a Phd. program despite of the fact that I am still holding a masters degree. Thanks, Deejay, India
