Master of Science- EE - University of British Columbia, McGill

[shatun]

Good day,

 I have graduated from the US university with 3.05 CGPA. (3.07 for the last 2 years- Cum Laude). After that I worked for ABB as drives engineer and before had internship with McDermott (both big names in offshore and power world). Hold valid Engineer-in-Training certification (not sure if valid for grad)

I would try to get into Master of Science in UBC, McGill, UWaterloo, UCalgary, UAlberta. I plan to study Power engineering. 

I assume that those schools are competitive. That's why I plan to take GRE. Based on the experience, will GRE help to boost my application? 

UBC says that they won't even look at any application with GPA < B+ (mine is B). Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
