Funding for International Students - Masters


chocoman

Question

Hi all,

I recently came to realise that Canadian master's programmes sometimes have funding opportunities that can cover all tuition fees, and even some living expenses - automatically awarded on admission to that programme. However, navigating the Canadian education system has been like a minefield for an international student who studied undergrad (abroad) in the UK. After researching forums and such, I got the impression that mostly Canadian students get these opportunities. How competitive is it exactly for international students? 

For example, I hold a BEng(Hons) in the 1st Class - (equivalent to at least an 83% in canada?) worked placement year in software engineering (special commendation for this)and then graduated as an Electrical and Electronic Engineer. Should I even think about spending the time writing professors and trying to persuade one of them to consider me given my background? Is it remotely good enough? I've left academia two years now and I seriously need some guidance.

Any input welcome!
