Fall 2020 PhD in Statistics: Profile Evaluation for Canadian Schools

Hi,

Can someone suggest some good PhD programs in Statistics that don’t require a thesis based master’s degree. Here’s my profile:

 

Also, in addition it would be great If someone can comment on the overall quality of the programs and job prospects compared to the USA. I’m more well versed about the programs etc in the USA, so I’m trying to get a different perspective.

Sorry, I couldn't find a way to delete the first post. I'll keep one of these posts here because I'm looking for recommendations for PhD programs in Canada as per my profile, and I'm not well-versed about the range of schools that will be appropriate for me there.

I doubt you'll find much helpful advice here, which is likely why nobody replied to your original post. Canadian schools' funding is almost exclusively reserved for Canadian students, so as an international student, it will be extremely difficult to get a funded offer.  You seem to have a profile that would allow you to get into some of the top Canadian schools if you had permanent residency though.

Yes, funding seems to be an issue in Canada for the most part. Canadian schools also tend to required students to have a previous master's degree. I guess I'll try and email a couple of departments. Figuring out funding requirements seems to be an issue. I've heard getting a Canadian student visa is harder than getting a US student visa, and funding is also an issue (no major concepts of large state schools there), but I've also heard job prospects seem more appealing in Canada as well (surprisingly, even getting PR). So I would definitely like to tap this option by applying to a couple of schools there.
