I had a wonderful experience with School Connect. My advisor was very approachable and knowledgeable. They conducted mock interviews for my VISA preparation, to add to that they have an amazing AI-based interview feature that comes in very handy to practice at our convenience. The advisors are prompt and quick to reply.

McMaster University for Engineering mcmaster universityengineeringengineering in canada
Currently, McMaster University is ranked 6th in Canada in Best Engineering Programs by the Maclean Magazine. At McMaster, the Faculty of Engineering offers all undergraduate engineering students a common first year, Engineering I. This gives students a full academic year to learn about all of McMaster's engineering focus disciplines. The academically rigorous engineering programs taught by first-class faculty have made McMaster one of the leading engineering schools in North America and the world. There is also an industrial internship program, where students can take a year off and work 12–16 months at a company. Students must apply to the companies and get the job, although the career center helps with the whole process. The internship program is better than co-op because students get to learn and solve real-world problems.

The faculty is well qualified & trained in their field of teaching. The computer science branch is also an elite place to learn programming. The computer science curriculum at McMaster goes far beyond the concepts of programming. It places emphasis on the foundations and theory of computer science while exploring discrete mathematics, data structures, algorithms, logic, management of complexity, programming languages and numerical computation. The Faculty of Computer engineering at McMaster University currently offers a four-year undergraduate Computer Science program leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science degree. After completion of a common first-year program, Computer Science I students are admitted to Level II in Honours Computer Science.
It’s a good place for human development and learning the technical & professional skills to reach the heights in your life.
